One of the crucial functions of the kidneys is to maintain homeostasis, which means the body′s ability to adjust its internal environment in order to sustain life. So the kidneys can take effect to keep blood pressure, hemoglobin and blood levels of various minerals within healthy range. As IgA Nephropathy develops, the kidneys are less able to filter excessive potassium in the blood. Patients with IgA Nephropathy should avoid fruits and vegetables high in potassium.
Vegetables
Lots of vegetables are good sources of potassium, including green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, Swiss chard, mustard green, turnip greens, collard greens, kale, romaine and spinach.
Beans like lima, pinto, kidney, lentils and green beans are also high in potassium. Potatoes and cucumbers also contain high potassium, especially then we eat their skin. Other vegetables also include celery, peas, brussel sprouts, beets, asparagus, bell peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, sweet potatoes, winter and summer squashes, and eggplant.
Fruits
Fruits that are high in potassium content include bananas, all citrus fruits, cantaloupe, figs, raspberries, strawberries, plums, kiwi, grapes, apricots, tomatoes and nuts.
Some dried fruits contain higher potassium levels than fresh, such as dried apricots and prunes. They are dries plums, and one plum contains 113.52 mg of potassium and 1/4 cup of prunes contains 316.63mg.
The above are some high-potassium content fruits and vegetables that IgA
Nephropathy patients should not eat. While having a proper diet of IgA
Nephropathy, we need to treat the disease positively with effective treatment.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy therapy for IgA Nephropathy is the newest therapy in 2013 in china, which develops based on many years research and clinical practices. If
you are sufferering from IgA Nephropathy and want to look for a natural therapy, we are glad to help you.
