What is a chronic kidney disease diet?
Kidney-friendly foods exist and can help your body when you are suffering from kidney damage. This is generally the first step for patients who are suffering from kidney disease but who are not undergoing dialysis. A professional at the Rogosin Institute can give you a diet guideline that reflects your personal situation and needs. You can also discuss options for finding a personal dietician who can give you additional kidney diet support. In general, if you have kidney disease you may need to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, maintain a healthy balance of protein-rich foods, and lower your sodium intake.
