Man diagnosed with acute kidney injury after eating 3 wild vegetables in a row

Recently, Mr. Zhang, a 50-year-old from Xi’an, developed mild symptoms of intestinal discomfort after eating wild vegetables in his yard.

Jiupai News learned that on April 14, he picked and ate wild vegetables for two people, and on the 15th, he ate overnight wild vegetables, and then he developed abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms. On the same day, Mr. Zhang was sent to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical College for medical treatment.

Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with pre-renal “acute kidney injury”, with diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration leading to renal damage. The doctor speculated that it was caused by eating wild vegetables and overnight wild vegetables.

“The doctor wears protective clothing and is undergoing emergency 6-hour bedside dialysis treatment. After the nucleic acid test results come out, they will be transferred to the ward for 24-hour bedside dialysis treatment, which will give the kidneys the best time for recovery.” Li Lu, director of the internal medicine department, described to reporters the tense first aid process after Mr. Zhang was sent to the hospital. After 7 or 8 days of treatment, the patient is now out of danger, the condition is relatively stable, and the kidneys are in the process of recovery. The treatment effect is very good.

Mr. Zhang said that he ate the “wild spinach” in his yard, and he used to eat it occasionally, but this year there was a lot of rain, and the wild vegetables grew well and ate more.

Dr. Li Lu suggested that you can eat the traditionally known wild vegetables, but you must know the source of the wild vegetables before eating, and don’t eat the wild vegetables you don’t know. Before eating wild vegetables, ask if the wild vegetables have been medicated, and try not to eat wild vegetables overnight. Also, if you experience nausea and vomiting, seek medical attention immediately.
