5 oranges, send him to live in the ICU
Sweet and sour oranges, loved by people, are the usual fruits in the fruit plate, but oranges are not for everyone to eat, especially for kidney disease patients, serious and even life-threatening.
For example, in a real case reported by the Wuhan Evening News last year, Mr. Jiang, 44, himself suffered from kidney disease, and after eating 5 oranges in one breath, he fainted and fell to the ground and was rushed to the hospital.
According to the examination report, Mr. Jiang's creatinine is as high as 1700umol/L, blood potassium is also as high as 7.2mmol/l, and the normal concentration of blood potassium is 3.5-5.5mmol/l, and the diagnosis is uremia and hyperkalemia, which may cause cardiac arrest at any time.
However, fortunately, after the hospital's timely hemodialysis, blood potassium reduction and other rescue treatment, Mr. Jiang finally turned the crisis into safety.
During the diagnosis and treatment, it was found that Mr. Jiang had been diagnosed with hypertension as early as ten years ago, but because he was in his prime, he not only did not take medicine to lower blood pressure according to the doctor's instructions, but also never went to the hospital for examination.
Before the onset of this illness, Mr. Jiang once felt weak and his calves were puffy.
Because he almost lost his life by eating oranges, it was actually because he suffered from uremia, and a large amount of potassium contained in oranges must be excreted through the urine, resulting in hyperkalemia caused by the accumulation of potassium in the body.
High potassium food, kidney disease patients should not eat more
The kidneys are important organs for blood potassium regulation, and when the kidneys function normally, the more potassium intake is consumed, the more potassium is excreted by the kidneys.
Doctors said that if the kidney function of kidney disease patients has been impaired, once the intake of oranges and other foods rich in potassium ions, potassium will accumulate in the body, high blood potassium will directly inhibit the heartbeat and breathing, if not timely and effective treatment, it will even endanger life.
Therefore, kidney disease patients should not eat more oranges, other potassium-rich foods should also be controlled, such as avocados, bananas, grapes, oranges, oranges, mushrooms, fungi and seaweed and other foods should be eaten less.
However, if it is a person with normal kidney function, eating a few oranges at a time will not cause excessive potassium intake.
Moreover, in fact, many foods contain potassium ions, which are difficult to accurately estimate from the diet, but the potassium ions in food, after boiling or cooking will dissolve in water, generally recommend patients with poor kidney function to avoid gravy, meat sauce, vegetable soup, and drink less juice.
In addition, dialysis patients should also avoid eating tomatoes in large quantities, or drinking Chinese herbs, so as not to endanger health due to high potassium ions.
Healthy people can eat several oranges a day
Eating too many citrus fruits can lead to excessive carotenoid intake, leading to caroteneemia, the main symptom of which is yellowing of the skin, especially the hands and feet.
Although it is possible to recover by temporarily reducing or avoiding carotene-rich foods, it is advisable not to eat recklessly.
Oranges are the favorite of many people, because it is convenient to eat and good taste, and recently it is a good season for oranges to be listed, and many people eat too much if they are not careful.
So, how many oranges can a healthy adult eat in a day?
According to the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016), the average adult who is lightly physically active and in good health should consume 200 to 350g of fruit per day, which is equivalent to about 1 to 2 oranges per day.
If you have diabetes, it is recommended that you eat one fist-sized piece of fruit, that is, a medium-sized orange, every day with stable blood sugar control.
If you have digestive system diseases, such as reflux esophagitis, stomach ulcers caused by excessive gastric acid secretion, etc., it is not recommended to eat citrus fruits with more organic acid content to avoid aggravating the disease.
In addition, it is suggested that fruits can be eaten as a meal instead of part of the meal.
