Can a kidney patient eat samosa?

Published in Kidney Diet 1 min read

No, a kidney patient should generally avoid eating samosas.

The provided reference material explicitly lists "samosa" under FOODS TO BE AVOIDED for kidney patients. This is likely due to the following reasons:

  • Fried Food: Samosas are typically deep-fried. Fried items like samosas should be avoided.
  • Salt Content: Samosas may contain a significant amount of salt, either in the filling or the pastry. High salt intake is generally discouraged for kidney patients as it can lead to fluid retention and increased blood pressure.

Therefore, due to their being fried and potentially high in salt, samosas are not a suitable food choice for individuals with kidney conditions.
