我最近听说了一个令人震惊的故事，关于两位朋友在聚餐时喝下了一瓶自制的杨桃酒后，次日出现了严重的肾衰竭症状。他们是广东普宁人，31岁，那天晚上和几个朋友一起吃饭喝酒。在席间，一位朋友拿出了自己泡了三年的杨桃白酒，说是很好喝，就开始分享给大家。每个人都尝试了几两，这 bottle of sweet and sour fruit wine seemed to be a hit.
But the next day, three out of the four men started feeling unwell, with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and back pain. They were rushed to the hospital where their blood creatinine levels were found to be abnormally high - ten times higher than normal. It turned out that they had developed acute kidney injury due to excessive consumption of yuzu.
The doctor explained that yuzu contains harmful substances called oxalates which can lead to high oxalate levels in the blood when consumed excessively. The oxalates then accumulate in the kidneys causing inflammation and damage leading to acute kidney failure.
This incident serves as a reminder for all of us - especially those who have pre-existing kidney problems or are prone to it - not to consume large amounts of yuzu or its byproducts such as juice or canned goods without proper caution. Even healthy individuals should avoid eating too much yuzu at once or on an empty stomach.
Let this story serve as a warning for everyone around you!
