Chronic Kidney Disease occurs when the kidneys can’t do their work normally.
A healthy diet is very important for these patients. It can help slow the
progression of their Chronic Kidney Disease. Once the patient has this disease,
he/she needs to make changes in your diet, including:
● Limit the intake of fluids
In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you do not need to limit the
fluid you drink. As your kidney disease becomes worse, you will need to watch
how much liquid you drink. In between dialysis sessions, fluid can build up in
the body. Too much fluid will lead to shortness of breath, an emergency that
needs immediate medical attention.
●Eat a low-protein diet
Low-protein diets may be helpful before you start dialysis. Your doctor or
dietitian may recommend a moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram
of body weight per day).
Once you start dialysis, you will need to eat more protein. In fact, a
high-protein diet with fish, poultry, pork, or eggs at every meal may be
recommended. This will help you replace muscles and other tissues that you
lose.
● Restrict phosphorous
Phosphorus is a mineral found mostly in dairy products and meats. Your body
uses it to form strong bones and teeth. But starting in the moderate, earlier
stages of CKD, your kidneys begin to lose the ability to remove extra phosphorus
from your body. Because too much phosphorus can harm your bones, it makes sense
to eat less phosphorus.
● Restrict potassium
Having the right level of potassium in your body helps all your muscles work
smoothly. Keeping potassium at the right level all the time is one of the jobs
that healthy kidneys do for your body. When kidneys fail, they start to lose
this ability.
● Have a low salt diet
Reducing sodium in your diet helps you control high blood pressure, keeps you
from being thirsty, and prevents your body from holding onto extra fluid. You
will probably need to eat a low-salt diet.
Having a healthy diet can help you fight against your Chronic Kidney
Disease
I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
