    No, in patients with renal insufficiency, the function of draining water from the body is greatly reduced, so edema of the lower limbs or the whole body often occurs. If such patients eat too much watermelon, they will ingest too much water, and cannot discharge the excess water in time, resulting in excessive storage of water in the body and increased blood volume, so not only aggravating the edema, but also easy to induce acute heart effort Exhaustion. Therefore, it is better for patients with renal insufficiency to eat less or not to eat watermelon.
