Friends let us tell you that what are the losses a patient goes through during kidney disease.

Also, what happens to his body during kidney disease that it can even lead to his death.

Our kidneys perform many significant functions of our body

from which one important function is to filter our blood and throw the waste out through urine.

If these waste do not get filtered by kidneys then it will start accumulating in our body

and the more the blood becomes dirty the more the complexities in our body will increase.

There will be lots of damage to different organs of our body

and gradually the functioning of this body will become low.

You will start facing problems while doing normal household chores.

Potassium is one such waste that gets accumulated in our blood.

Actually, potassium is a very important mineral for our body

that does many crucial functions, in which controlling heart functions is main

and potassium helps in that as well.

But when kidneys are not functioning well then it cannot filter the extra potassium present in our body

due to which potassium gets accumulated in our body gradually.

It increases the amount of waste in our blood

and an increase in its level results in heart rate fluctuations.

This heart rate fluctuation is not good for our body.

This may cause heart attack or cardiac attack in humans anytime and might cause death.

Potassium is so dangerous during kidney disease that it can also cause our death.

This is why we should not consume high potassium food during kidney disease.

So, let us talk about a vegetable with very high level of potassium

and which you have to avoid completely. This vegetable is taro root which is also known as arbi in Hindi.

Taro root is one such vegetables which is disliked by many people

but still it is very healthy for your body.

It can put many qualities in your body as it has different vitamins in high amount

such as vitamin C and vitamin B6 which increases your immunity.

It has high magnesium and fiber. It has different amino acid in high amount

and it has high omega oils. But it has most dangerous thing for your kidney, potassium.

The potassium level is so high that one cup of taro root contains 640 mg of potassium.

This is very high as compared to other vegetables like potato.

Your kidneys could never remove this much potassium. Your blood will get dirtier gradually

and you cannot imagine how much damage a bowl of taro root can cause.

Potassium hoarded in taro root is harmful for you but it can also cause some other damage to your kidneys.

You should never eat it raw because it has high level of amino acid and calcium oxalates.

Both of these things can cause kidney stones.

Oxalates entering in our body will get accumulated and forms small stones.

These small stones get bigger with time and blocks the vessels of kidneys

due to which kidney stops functioning and you experience severe pain.

Along with high pain, kidneys' function drops down speedily.

If you are suffering from CKD and you get kidney stone as well then this can be life-threatening for you.

Therefore, such patients should stay away from taro root.

You can eat some alternate food of taro root.

There are certain ways to bring the potassium of taro root down

but still it is very high for your body.

So, you see how a healthy thing can be fatal for you during kidney disease.
