Is boiled egg bad for kidney?

My brother has a chronic kidney condition. We're very careful about his diet. Someone told us boiled eggs are bad for kidneys. Is this true, or can he still have them in moderation?

For kidney health, especially if you have existing issues, protein intake needs to be monitored. Eggs are high in protein. It's always best to check with your doctor, particularly if you have conditions like high BP which can affect kidneys. Don't guess, get it checked.

Hey! I was also wondering about this recently. I think for most healthy people, boiled eggs are totally fine and a good source of protein. But if someone has kidney problems, protein restriction might be advised by a doctor. So, really depends on the individual's health status. Better safe than sorry!

Generally, boiled eggs are very healthy. The main concern for kidneys is usually high protein for people with existing kidney disease. If your kidneys are healthy, one or two eggs a day shouldn't be an issue. If there's any doubt, a simple blood test for kidney function is not very expensive.

My doctor actually explained this to me. For healthy kidneys, eggs are absolutely fine and a great source of complete protein. However, for people who already have chronic kidney disease, their doctor might advise limiting protein intake, including eggs, to reduce the workload on the kidneys. So, it's not universally 'bad'.

Arre na, boiled egg generally good hi hota hai. Protein ka acha source hai. Lekin haan, agar already kidney problem hai kisi ko, toh doctor se puchna chahiye. Extra protein load kidney pe aa sakta hai na. Baaki healthy logon ke liye, no tension!

Please, if you are concerned about your kidneys, do not delay seeing a doctor. I ignored some signs for too long and it became a bigger issue. Dietary advice, especially regarding protein and kidneys, has to come from a medical professional. Don't risk it with self-diagnosis.

Boiled eggs are very nutritious, good for strength. But if you have kidney problems, then protein intake needs to be controlled. For such serious things, it's always best to consult a doctor, not rely on general advice. For minor issues, home remedies work, but kidneys are serious.
