Can Apple Cider Vinegar Be Taken After Removing A Kidney?

I have had 1 kidney removed due to cancer. I am told to pay attention to meds that I take and avoid those processed thru the kidney. I m interested in the Apple Cider Vinegar diet and want to take ACV capsules in lieu of Liquid. Do I have any concerns for my kidney by doing this? YYYY@YYYY

hello,
i can understand your concern.
if your serum creatinine and urea are within normal range and the serum potassium is within normal range and is not on the higher side you can use apple cidar vinegar.
having high potassium will further raise the levela of potasium and can lead to irregular heart beats.
other than this there ia no issue in using apple cidar vinegar.

hope this helps
thanks for choosing hcm.
have a nice day
