Solution

Kidney disease:

  1. Kidney disease is a chronic condition characterized by failure and loss of kidney function.
  2. It leads to waste buildup in the bloodstream and leads to multiple health complications.
  3. Treatments don't offer a complete cure and rather aid in controlling the symptoms and slowing down disease progression.
  4. The doctor suggests a patient with kidney disease to prefer white rice over brown rice.
  5. The patients have to limit phosphorous and potassium in their diet and as brown rice is a rich source of these minerals, white rice is recommended for consumption.
