Is Cantaloupe Good for Chronic Renal Failure Patients

Chronic renal failure patients want to eat cantaloupe cantaloupe we should know sugar and potassium content is very high, we can say cantaloupe is very nutritious food, but for chronic renal failure patients, cantaloupe is good or bad ? How to eat? Next we take a simple look, I hope we can know more.

We all know that can be divided into acute and chronic renal failure, acute renal failure progression fast, usually caused by inadequate supply of renal blood flow (such as trauma or burns), kidney function due to some factors that cause damage or obstruction by poison damage, acute renal failure generation. The main reason for the long-term chronic renal failure kidney disease, along with the time and the disease, decreased kidney function, resulting in renal failure.

Chronic kidney disease to renal failure due to renal excretion and regulation dysfunction, often appear clinically little or no urine, thus making certain metabolic disorders inside the body, mainly potassium metabolism. Because oliguria, can not put the body in a timely manner and potassium excretion, resulting in too much potassium retention in the body and cause hyperkalemia.

Potassium is an essential important material. However, high levels of potassium ions in vivo, but also have a significant impact on the heart. Dispatched as bradycardia, conduction block, ventricular fibrillation, sudden cardiac arrest and even lead to life-threatening. The relatively high content of potassium ions melon, per 100 g of potassium flesh contains about 250 mg. Because renal failure decreased glomerular filtration and tubular function reduces efficiency, ability to handle potassium loss, such as eating high-potassium foods, it is easy to trigger cardiovascular disease, and even lead to accidents happen. Therefore, renal failure should not eat cantaloupe.


Cantaloupe is used for anemia therapeutic goods, for stomach problems, cough Tan Chuan, anemia and constipation in patients with eating, more potassium foods are bananas, tomatoes, mangoes, carrots, spinach, etc., chronic renal failure patients should pay attention to eating.
