Pickle salt has a strong salty taste, and edema patients with renal insufficiency are prone to relapse if they eat salty foods. Because the salt content is too high, sodium ions increase the burden on the kidneys, resulting in sodium and water retention, resulting in relapse of edema. When mustard and crucian carp are eaten together, certain irritating substances are produced in the biochemical reaction and enter the lungs and kidneys, especially the kidneys, causing abnormal communication in the two internal organs and causing edema.
