The following general guidelines on diet can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle while living with kidney disease.
Diet is an important part of your healthy lifestyle. When your kidneys are not functioning efficiently, waste products from the foods you eat can build up in your blood, or certain vital nutrients can become depleted. For this reason it is very important to carefully choose the types of food you eat, and the amount.
When planning your diet, much will depend on the level of kidney function you have and whether or not you are receiving dialysis, so always follow the advice of your dietitian, doctor or nurse.
A dietitian experienced in renal disease can be particularly helpful in determining the levels of potassium, phosphorus, sodium and protein that are appropriate for you.
