Can patients with uremia eat人参 fruit?
Disease description:
My grandfather was diagnosed with uremia at the hospital a few days ago. Today, my father bought him some "renshengguo" (ginseng fruit). May I ask if he can eat it?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xinju
Uremia patients can usually consume人参果 (ginseng fruit). Ginseng fruit contains abundant nutrients such as vitamins, protein, amino acids, iron, zinc, and selenium. It helps stimulate saliva production, quench thirst, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the stomach, thereby enhancing the body's absorption function without imposing excessive burden on the patient's kidneys. In addition to ginseng fruit, patients can also regularly consume other vitamin-rich foods such as tomatoes, apples, and strawberries.
