The kidney disease hospital recently received such a patient: Mr. Li, who lives in Heilongjiang suffering from chronic nephritis 10 years, had previously been treated at several hospitals. Did not achieve the desired result, so is the watermelon recipe is also used to treat chronic nephritis. If you eat watermelon, "said the watermelon diuretic detoxification. Really be able to renal toxicity row clean enough." Uncle Liu's wife of more than 50 years of age, suffering from uremia for two years, the cure has been the wish of the couple.
Expert view: urinating more than equal to the toxin ranked much
Site special expert Zhang pointed out that an important kidney function is detoxification. People live, water, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as well as access to oxygen in air to obtain from the diet. These substances into the bloodstream, transported by blood to each cell of the body to sustain life activities. Human cells after the use of these nutrients will continue to produce a variety of waste substances such as urea, creatinine, fatty acids and other toxins, these toxins into the blood first. With the blood flow, toxins were delivered to the body's excretory organs - the kidneys, usually excreted with the urine. Do not know the medical people think that as long as the micturition, you can emit a lot of toxins. "
Eat more watermelon will increase the burden of nephritis patients
Zhang said that the "toxin is able to discharge, discharge how much depends on the kidney function is good. The role of the watermelon is a diuretic, but not be able to discharge toxins." From a medical perspective, a normal kidney, one day deal with the appropriate urine is so much a daily urine output less than 500ml may lead to metabolic waste retention in the body. Instead, the normal daily urine output greater than 3000ml a long time, will be too heavy burden on the kidneys, over time, the kidneys but will go wrong, and urinating too much will lead to a body of water, electrolytes, acid-base balance. Therefore, people with kidney disease if you eat more watermelon, but will increase its burden on the kidneys, is extremely unfavorable to the disease.
