Can patients with kidney disorder eat bananas? The answer is no. Why? Kidney
has many functions such as filtration blood, secreting hormones, EPO, adjusting
the balance of electrolyte, etc. Potassium is a kind of ion in the blood, which
will be high if the kidney is out of order. The same goes for sodium.
Generally, patients with kidney failure are required to keep diet less in
potassium and sodium. Bananas are rich in potassium, so patients with kidney
failure should limit the intake of bananas.
Besides bananas, other food rich in potassium are as follows: fresh broad
bean, tomatoes, Chinese yam, spinach, edible amaranth, kelp, nori, Dateplum
persimmon, apricot, nut, peanuts, green soya bean, soya bean, mung bean,
etc.
When can patients with kidney disorder have bananas?
After kidney is in order, patients with kidney disease can have bananas,
which tastes sweet and contains rich vitamins. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease
Hospital, we use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can treat kidney
disorder and balance the electrolyte, which can adjust the level of potassium
and sodium. After these, patients can feel free to have many fruit including
bananas.
