If your kidneys are not working as they should, we have the best diet plan with specific daily amounts of protein, sodium and potassium. Keeping these nutrients in check can help prevent kidney disease from getting worse.
If you have kidney disease, you need a registered dietitian nutritionist on your health care team. An RDN will teach you how to eat well and manage this new and very important part of your health plan.
You will need a meal plan that meets your individual needs. A registered dietitian nutritionist can help you accomplish this by taking your food preferences, lifestyle and special needs into account.
When you have kidney disease, it is important to watch what you eat and drink because your kidneys cannot remove waste products as well as they should. A kidney-friendly eating plan can help you stay healthier and slow down damage to your kidneys. This webpage is for people who have Stages 1 to 4 of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are not on dialysis.
Everyone is different and has different nutrition needs. Use this information as a guide. Work with a dietitian to create a kidney-friendly eating plan that is right for you.
What is a kidney-friendly eating plan?
A kidney-friendly eating plan is a way of eating that helps protect your kidneys from more damage. It includes foods that are easy on your kidneys, and limits other foods and fluids so certain minerals in those foods, like potassium, do not build up to high levels in your body.
Can I get help to create a kidney-friendly eating plan that is right for me?
As a certified dietitian, I know which foods are right for people with kidney disease). I can help you create a kidney-friendly eating plan that includes the foods you enjoy.
You can talk to us about the foods you enjoy or any special requirements you have (for example, you are vegetarian or have food allergies) and they will help you create a kidney-friendly eating plan that is right for you. Remember, even diets that may offer health benefits to some people (like the keto diet, Mediterranean diet, vegan diet) are not always safe for people with kidney disease. Always talk to a dietitian before increasing or decreasing your daily intake of certain foods or nutrients. A dietitian is the best person to help you create a meal plan that protects your kidneys and keeps you as healthy as possible.
