Diet in Chronic Kidney Disease
Diet and Kidney Health
What you eat plays a big role in protecting your kidneys. A kidney-friendly diet can help slow down CKD and keep your body in better balance.
Why it matters:
The right diet reduces strain on your kidneys.
Helps control blood pressure, blood sugar, and waste buildup.
Can lower the risk of complications like swelling, bone problems, and heart disease.
Key diet tips for CKD:
Limit salt (sodium): Too much salt raises blood pressure and makes swelling worse. You should limit sodium to 2000 mg per day.
Watch protein intake: Animal protein pieces should be the size and thickness of your palm, per meal and two meals a day.
Balance fluids: In later CKD, you may need to limit how much you drink.
Check phosphorus and potassium foods: Some patients need to avoid foods high in these minerals.
- Choose fresh foods: Avoid processed and packaged foods high in hidden salt and phosphorus. Avoid processed meats, lunch meats, canned soups etc.
