Friends of patients with renal insufficiency should pay special attention to diet during festivals, and should not eat foods with high potassium ion content to avoid hyperkalemia. The renal excretion function of patients with renal insufficiency is impaired. When the potassium intake cannot be excreted from the kidney, hyperkalemia will be caused, which is an emergency of uremia patients, which can cause serious cardiac conduction and contraction abnormalities, and in severe cases, there will be the risk of cardiac arrest and sudden death.
Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the incidence of hyperkalemia as much as possible and give consideration to nutrition. At this time, the risk of hyperkalemia can be reduced by choosing the right ingredients, taking the right amount and using the cooking method of reducing potassium. So, what high-potassium foods need to be eaten less? Kelp, laver, mushroom, shiitake mushroom, spinach, water spinach, potato yam, banana, orange, tomato, onion, broth, strong tea and coffee are all high-potassium foods. How to adopt the cooking method of reducing potassium? First of all, we can blanch the food in boiling water, take out the soup and fry it in oil, which can effectively reduce the intake of potassium.
It is particularly important to note that low and medium potassium foods do not mean that there is no potassium, and excessive intake will also cause hyperkalemia, so low and medium potassium foods should also be controlled. Everyone should remember that the daily intake of potassium is 2 3 grams.
