Patients with hemodialysis can eat watermelon in small amounts if their condition is well controlled. However, if their condition is not good, they should avoid eating watermelon.
If the patient’s physical condition after hemodialysis is good, and usually not prone to edema and high potassium, usually can eat a small amount of watermelon to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
However, if the patient’s health condition after hemodialysis is not very good, and high potassium level and edema symptoms are more obvious, then watermelon should be avoided, so as not to aggravate the burden on the kidneys and lead to cardiac arrest, which may endanger the life of the patient.
For diet of hemodialysis patients, it is recommended to consult nephrologist and nutritionist, and eat reasonably under the guidance of doctors.
