Recessive killer hyperkalemia

In the hot summer, all kinds of fruits have been on the market, and people can't help eating. Most fruits are rich in potassium, which can be fatal for hemodialysis patients.

How do hemodialysis patients eat?

How to choose all kinds of fruits and vegetables to eat nutritionally safe?

Potassium is an important nutrient element for human body.

Most foods contain this ingredient.

About 90% of potassium is excreted through the kidneys.

With the increase of kidney damage, the lower the ability of kidney to excrete potassium, the higher the risk of hyperkalemia.

The early clinical symptoms of hyperkalemia are atypical, which may only lead to fatigue, nausea and other symptoms. Further increase of blood potassium will cause limb numbness and weakness, walking difficulties, heart rate slowing, and even cardiac arrest.

Severe renal function damage, accompanied by heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, long-term use of "Prey, Satan" type antihypertensive drugs, are all high-risk groups with hyperkalemia, and blood potassium should be monitored regularly.

The range of normal blood potassium is 3.5-5.5mmol/l, blood potassium ≥ 5.0mmol/l, that is, regular monitoring is required to take preventive and therapeutic measures to keep blood potassium within the normal range.

In addition to the fruits we are familiar with, bananas and watermelons are rich in potassium, and mushroom, tea, laver and beans are also rich in potassium.

How to reduce the prevalence of hyperkalemia?

Dietary restriction of potassium can effectively prevent hyperkalemia.

Low potassium cooking, that is, blanching and boiling, can reduce the potassium content in food. For example, after vegetables and meat are blanched, they can be stir fried with clean water. Try not to drink soup, which can reduce the potassium content by more than half.

When the fruit is boiled, pour out the water and eat the pulp, which can reduce the potassium by half.

In addition, insist on not using low sodium and high potassium salts.

Full attention should be paid to high-risk groups, so that the hospital blood potassium test can be quickly and clearly determined.

Patients whose blood potassium is not up to the standard, patients who cannot accept low potassium diet or patients whose blood potassium is still not up to the standard after low potassium diet should be timely treated and prevented according to the doctor's advice.
