Averrhoa carambola L. is a tropical global fruit, known locally as Five-Finger to the populace of Guyana. The fruit can be found in each of the Ten Administrative Regions of the country but is more common on the Coastal Plains. The commonality of the fruit has led to its versatility in food preparation and its medicinal properties. Carambola is also credited with similar characteristics to the watermelon and papaya fruits, due to the enzymes that aid in digestion and gut health.
Conversely, individuals can be vulnerable, especially if they are predisposed to renal diseases. It is discovered that carambola/five-finger has been scientifically proven to have negative effects on health if taken while experiencing the presence of chronic kidney disease, gastro-enteropathies, chronic pancreatitis, and dehydration. Further, persons who suffer from any form of renal disease can undergo certain signs and symptoms such as insomnia, mental confusion persistent hiccups, nausea, vomiting, agitation, intoxication, and convulsions. Thus, the fruit may be taken in moderation by everyone. However, anyone who is diagnosed with renal issues or kidney disease is advised to avoid the consumption of carambola in any form.
