Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic kidney disease and there are multiple cysts on kidneys. The cysts will be increased and get enlarged over time, which will oppress surrounding kidney tissues and finally cause kidney damage. So PKD patients need to take a well planed diet, which can help reduce kidney burden and protect their kidneys. Then is asparagus good for PKD patients? In the following article, we will get the answer.

Asparagus is a kind of vegetables, which have many benefits for PKD patients to take.

1. Increase the urine output

2. Lower high blood pressure

3. Protect cardiovascular system

4. Improve the appetite

5. Improve immune system

6. Increase the metabolism in body

All these will be beneficial for PKD patients. However, since PKD is a progressive kidney disease, so the specific illness condition will be different from case to case, so PKD patients need to take asparagus depending on their own illness condition.

Precaution;

Asparagus is high in potassium, about 213mg/100g, so it will not be good for PKD patients who have high potassium level in blood. Because the high potassium level in blood will cause irregular heart beat, heart failure or even sudden death. So patients need to avoid the asparagus intake if they have high potassium level.
