Since wheatgrass includes thus so many nutrition and together with known no
side effects, so it is safe to ingest it daily as a part of diet. However, there
is no available scientific evidence that wheatgrass can cure or prevent any
disease.
In fact, wheatgrass is high in potassium, while for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD), their kidneys have a low ability to excrete the overmuch
potassium. So wheatgrass should be avoided for CKD patients. We also should have

Due to the reason that wheatgrass is an extremely powerful food, so even for
the normal everyone of us, we don’t need to drink a lot of it at one time. At
the start you just need to drink 30ml per day, and remember to follow the
wheatgrass juice with an equal amount of water, because the intake of wheatgrass
itself alone can stress your kidneys.
So wheatgrass is generally not helpful for kidney disease, especially when
your kidneys are severely damaged so that they cannot excrete those wastes or
toxins in your body.
