What is a good diet for someone with kidney disease?

Eating foods low in sodium, limiting your fluids and protein. Remember to read labels on processed food as they could be high in sodium. Remember to discuss with your doctor.

A kidney friendly diet would limit fluids, restrict salt, potassium and other electrolytes. Eating a low protein diet may also be recommended, and make sure you get enough calories to avoid weight loss.

Salt or sodium should be avoided the most. So check on the nutrition facts on the labels and stuff you buy. Process and canned foods are the biggest suspects on salt content in the market today. Check with Doctors or Nutritionist on what should be on your diet.

The Mayo clinic has released research that finds a low-phosphorus diet may be the best for those suffering from kidney disease. Although you still need protein, high protein foods and whole grains generally contain more phosphorus. The daily recommended about for is 800 to 1,000 milligrams, half the amount of someone without kidney disease.
