The highest time to find his blood potassium index to 7.1, our normal blood potassium index is not more than 5.3, under normal circumstances if the index exceeds 6.5 to emergency dialysis, the patient to the ward after the hurry to give him dialysis, he is the recent large number of vegetables, it is possible to cause potassium accumulation in the body.
After timely treatment, Xiao Daddy has turned the crisis into safety. It is worth noting that for patients with chronic kidney disease like Xiao Daddy, due to the decline in the ability of the kidneys to expel potassium, when a large amount of potassium-containing foods are ingested, potassium entering the body will be difficult to excrete.
Potassium is an essential electrolyte for our body, but it will inhibit the electrical activity of the heart muscle, and high potassium may cause cardiac arrest.
Doctors remind that in addition to green leafy vegetables, bananas, grapes, oranges, pomegranates and other fruits contain a lot of potassium, the public should not eat too much. Patients with chronic kidney disease should avoid excessive high-potassium foods in their diet and regularly monitor kidney function and blood potassium levels.
