“At that time, we do not understand, low sodium salt containing more, my mother bought a low sodium salt, cooking has been used, the results used several times after almost to my life. "Just to restore health Mr. Sun is still uncertain.

Home Mr. Sun, 32 years old, isolated chronic kidney disease for nearly a year, after treatment improved condition, but the kidney function has been bad. About a month ago, he felt the whole body weakness, to hurry to the hospital. "The doctor said," If the doctor said, if not found in time, may cause arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest, a threat to life. "

This is because of the low sodium salt to blame, low sodium salt is the salt of sodium chloride into potassium chloride, and potassium excretion is mainly by the kidney. This does not increase the burden on the kidney it! Low sodium salt can reduce the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, so low sodium salt for middle-aged and patients with high blood pressure heart disease to eat long-term. The kidney disease if there is high blood pressure and edema, it should be low sodium diet, but not recommended to eat low sodium salt.

With the gradual decline in renal function, the risk of hyperkalemia will increase. In patients with renal failure, whether it is not dialysis patients, or has been used hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis patients, hyperkalemia are not uncommon. And the doctor in the clinic when asked the cause of hyperkalemia, the low sodium is a very easy to be ignored by the latent risk factors. Patients often know that bananas, oranges, green leafy vegetables are high potassium foods, but did not notice the table on the low sodium salt is also one of high potassium food. Only in a small number of persistent hypokalemia, poor eating patients, the need for oral potassium treatment, eat high potassium foods, you can consider eating low sodium, but to regularly detect serum potassium levels, to avoid the accumulation of hyperkalemia The Therefore, patients with kidney disease do not think that low-sodium diet is beneficial, just take low sodium salt, but need to consult a doctor, under the guidance of a doctor with their own serum potassium levels, renal function, decide whether to take low sodium salt.
