Studies show that milk thistle can help prevent kidney damage due to high blood sugar. Dandelion tea or extracts can help lower inflammation and have diuretic effects. For someone with kidney disease this effect may interact with their medications too, so its generally better to avoid taking them close to medications. D mannose can help people with UTIs (infections in their urinary tract), but usually not recommended to kidney patients becasue high doses may damage the kidneys. So its important to get the approval of your healthcare expert before taking it.

Parsley can help prevent kidney damage due to high blood pressure, but its high in oxalates and not recommended for people having kidney stones or those with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Citrus fruits are high in potassium, but the juice of 1 lemon per day is generally considered safe for CKD patients and may even help detoxify the blood. Pinapple is a good option indeed; it is low in potassium and rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants that can help improve overall kidney health. But for diabetes patients, its best not to eat more than 100 grams of whole fruit. Pineapple juice should also be avoided, however, as it can spike blood sugar. hope that helps!

Its better to discuss it with your healthcare expert first. Some older studies did suggest that vitamin B12 can harm kidneys, particularly if the kidneys are already damaged or b12 dosage is high. Plus, B12 shots may help in weightloss but the effects probably won't be too significant. So its better to avoid taking b12 injection unless approved by your healthcare expert. Hope that helps.

Its better not to. Fasting has been associated with worsening of kidney disease and may even cause kidney failure, according to some studies. Generally, fasting can be a good option to reduce body fat, improve insulin sensitivity for diabetics, and help control blood pressure for heart patients. But the potential risks of dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, electrolyte imbalances, and high creatinine levels (due to muscle breakdown during fasting period) still exist. If you're considering fasting for weight loss, probably a better way is to have a balanced diet rather than go on a long day fasting. Hope that helps.

You're right. Spinach is high in potassium, but smaller serving sizes (about 30 grams or less than 1/3 cup) are leas likely to overburden the kidneys with potassium. But people who have kidney stones or have a history of kidney stones should still be cautious and avoid spinach altogether.

Thankyou! 😍

Bitter melon contains roughly 350 milligrams of potassium per cup. And its usually potassium that interacts with BP medications. A half or 1 cup serving is less likely to interact with BP or heart disease medications. But bitter melon can interact with diabetes medications and blood thinners. All these side effects can be mimized by keeping a time gap of 2-3 hours between bitter melon and medications, or reducing the serving size. Hope that helps!

BItter melon contains about 350 mg of potassium per cup (58 grams) (Source: USDA). Keeping in view the allowed potassium intake for CKD patients (2000 mg of potassium in most cases), 350mg of potassium is 17-18% of that limit. Reducing the serving size to even lower, about half cup, can be a lot safer for most CKD patients.

It's highly unlikely. Citrus fruits (oranges, and especially grapefruits) are often prohibited to CKD patients because they're often high in potassium. Lemons are too "tiny" for that. One lemon contains just around 80mg of potassium that most CKD patients can easily take in. So drinking the juice of 1-2 lemons per day is generally considered to be safe for CKD patients. Hope that helps.

Lupus nephritis is an autoimmune condition, meaning it happens when the immune system starts attacking the healthy cells inside the body (kidneys in this case), causing cell damage and inflammation. So, clearly, the condition needs to be managed medically (medications and dialysis in most cases). Generally, foods mentioned in the video may be helpful for anyone watching their intake of potassium and other minerals that may strain the kidneys. So these foods may help manage the symptoms of your condition too. Plus, to manage inflammation in general, you'll need to focus on low-potassium, high-antioxidant foods (blueberries, raspberries, apples, onions, ginger, garlic, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, watercress, etc.) Hope that helps!

You're right! Whole flaxseeds are difficult to chew and digest, so ground flaxseeds are always preferable. Thanks for bringing this up! ❤

You're right. Flaxseeds contain 813 milligrams of potassium in a 100g serving size. But the recommended serving size of ground flaxseeds is 1-2 tablespoons in which the amount of potassium will be just a little bit over 100 grams. So eating 1-2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds is considered safe for most people. Hope that helps! ❤

You're right about that. Bitter gourd contains over 600 mg potassium per a 100 gram serving. But this serving size is already too much for most people and eating smaller servings (about 40-50 grams which is less than a half cup) is less likely to cause potassium overload or increase creatinine levels, while helping the liver and kidneys detox the blood. But of course, CKD severity varies from case to case, so its always best to talk to a healthcare expert for personalized guidance and recommendations. Hope that helps!
