Coffee is a daily drink in Europe and the United States. in the United States, more than 1 stroke 2 people drink coffee every day. With the development of globalization, coffee is becoming more and more common in our country.

Studies have found that coffee is associated with increased risk of dementia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, liver cirrhosis and osteoporosis, as well as increased frequency and volume of urination. So, does coffee have an effect on kidney function? Patients with kidney disease can still drink coffee when they are asked to adjust their diet.

The answer is "yes", but the following points should be noted:

Coffee consumption

Before drinking coffee, you should first consider the nutritional content of coffee. An 8-ounce (235 ml) cup of black coffee contains 116 mg- of potassium is a low-potassium food-but it is important to note that most people drink more than one cup of coffee a day. Drinking 3-4 cups of coffee a day is a high-potassium diet, which can increase the level of blood potassium in patients. Adding cream or milk can further increase the potassium content of coffee.

Black coffee contains very little phosphorus, sodium, calories, carbohydrates and protein, so it can be ignored. Current evidence suggests that caffeine is safe for adults within 400 mg a day, while an 8-ounce cup of coffee is between 100 and 200 mg. Therefore, it is safer to drink no more than three cups of coffee a day.

Blood pressure

Caffeine can cause a temporary sudden rise in blood pressure. Although no studies have shown that drinking 3-4 cups of coffee a day increases the risk of kidney disease / increases the rate of decline in kidney function, it is still beneficial to control coffee consumption. People with poorly controlled blood pressure should drink no more than 3 cups of coffee a day.

Additive.

The additives in coffee usually have a greater impact than coffee itself. For example, an 8-ounce coffee latte without syrup contains 183 mg of phosphorus and 328 mg of potassium. In addition, coffee cream contains chemical phosphate, which is easily absorbed by the body and should be used less in patients with kidney disease.

Liquid intake

Coffee is also a liquid, and patients with kidney disease who need to limit their liquid intake should be counted as coffee.

Generally speaking, people with kidney disease can drink coffee. Drinking the right amount of words has little effect on patients with kidney disease. But additives such as milk and cream can increase the content of potassium and phosphorus in coffee, which should be paid attention to when drinking.
