ROUTINES & REMEDIES
Your doctor may recommend a special diet as a part of your treatment for kidney disease. You should ask your doctor for to refer you to a dietitian who will be able to examine your existing diet and propose ways to make your diet easier on your kidneys.
Your dietitian might recommend the following dependent on your situation and general health.
You should make sure to stay clear from products with extra salt. Reduce the amount of sodium you consume daily by avoiding products with additional salt, which includes many convenience foods, like frozen dinners, canned soups and fast foods.
Select lower potassium foods. Your dietitian will possibly advise that you choose lower potassium foods for every meal.
Limit the total of protein you consume. Your dietitian should guesstimate the suitable number of grams of protein that you need each day and create recommendations based on the given amount.
