What can't hypokalemia patients eat? Patients with hypokalemia should first remember not to eat spicy food, including onions, peppers, fennel and so on. Besides, we should avoid eating fried food and greasy food often. These foods can increase the body's heat. Patients with hypokalemia had better not eat fried dough sticks and cream in their lives. In addition, be careful not to smoke, drink or drink coffee often. These drinks are all exciting drinks, which can directly increase water and calories in the body, so eat healthy food.
Patients with hypokalemia should eat more foods with high potassium content, such as buckwheat, corn, sweet potato and soybean. Eat more vegetables containing more potassium, such as spinach, shepherd's purse, coriander, rape, cabbage, celery, green onion, green garlic, lettuce, potato, yam, fresh peas and red beans. Eat more seafood with high potassium content. Seaweed is rich in potassium. For example, the sodium content of gold is 175 times that of 1640 mg of potassium. Kelp contains potassium, which is 22 times that of sodium. Amphibian potassium is 3. 1 times that of sodium. So golden soup, golden steamed, golden balls, assorted kelp dishes, kelp stew and so on. They are all commodities for supplementing potassium in summer. Eat bananas, baroque, tomatoes, Liu Ding, peaches and other high-potassium fruits rich in potassium. Because the body's potassium mainly comes from food. Beans (such as black beans, soybeans and fresh peas), lean meat, dairy products, eggs, potatoes, tea, sunflower seeds, grains, raisins, green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and beets) and fruits.
The risk of hypokalemia affects acid-base balance. The alkalosis caused by hypokalemia is the increase of urine [H], and the urine is acidic, which is different from the alkaline urine of general alkalosis and is also called "abnormal acidic urine". Effect on kidney. Chronic hypokalemia will not only reduce renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, but also change the structure and function of renal tubules. For example, the reactivity to ADH decreased, bone marrow increased, NaCl reabsorption disorder, renal concentration dysfunction, polyuria, nocturia, and even renal diabetes insipidus. Effects on blood vessels. When blood potassium decreases, arterioles can be directly dilated, and the increase of PGE can also reduce peripheral vascular resistance. Therefore, patients with hypokalemia are prone to dizziness and hypotension.
