Acute Kidney Injury Following Whole Cherry Consumption as a Sleep Aid in a Geriatric Patient With Chronic Kidney Disease.
Key takeaways
This is a report about one 95-year-old woman with kidney disease. She ate whole cherries every night to help her sleep. Her kidney function dropped sharply for two weeks. When she stopped eating the cherries, her kidneys went back to normal. This is a single case, so it does not prove that cherries cause kidney problems for everyone.
