As the king of tropical fruit, mango is loved by not only healthy people but also kidney disease patients. Hypertensive nephropathy patients all want to eat mango. Is it proper for hypertensive nephropathy patients to eat mango?
Actually, there is uncertain answer to this question, because the kidney diet mainly depends on patients’ individual condition. Some can eat mango, while some are not allowed to eat mango.
Patients with hypertensive nephropathy can eat mango due to the following healthy benefits:
Mango is rich in carotene and vitamin C, and both of these nutrients are able to regulate patients’ immune system and improve their immunity to prevent hypertensive nephropathy patients from inflammation and infection. Besides, vitamin C can also protect residual kidney function and increase the rate of kidney filtering wastes.
What’s more, mango can be used as diuretics, so if patients still have enough urine, eating mango can increase the urine output so that more wastes and toxins can be filtered from your blood to control patients’ condition. It is said that the nucleus of mango is able to lower high blood pressure and remove more toxins out of the body.
Patients with high potassium are not allowed to eat mango.
Mango is rich in potassium. If hypertensive nephropathy patients’ potassium level is higher than normal, patients should limit or even avoid mango; otherwise, high potassium will cause arrhythmia or even shock.
In addition, mango is also rich in sugar, so diabetes patients should not eat mango.
Whether you can eat mango mainly depends on your specific condition. Therefore, you can consult your doctor or our free online doctor to get the definite answer.
