Patients with chronic renal failure can consume broccoli. Broccoli is highly nutritious, possesses anticancer properties, and helps enhance immune function. With active cooperation in medical treatment, the progression of chronic renal failure can be effectively controlled, thereby prolonging patients’ survival. It is recommended to avoid nephrotoxic medications, restrict dietary salt intake, consume more vegetables and fruits, get adequate rest, and avoid excessive physical exertion.
