Question

Can kidney disease patients eat red jujube?

Answer

Patients with kidney disease syndrome typically exhibit high blood pressure, high blood lipids, large amounts of proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia, and are primarily treated with hormone therapy. In traditional Chinese medicine, this condition is associated with yang deficiency and water retention, which can be treated with True Wu Decoction. Generally speaking, as long as kidney disease patients follow their doctor’s orders, eating red jujube in moderation is not a problem. However, whether or not to consume red jujube and the amount should be determined based on the patient’s specific condition and the advice of their doctor.
