What to eat for kidney chronic patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low sodium: Low sodium diets are essential to avoiding hypertension and may slow the loss of kidney function. A recent article suggests maintaining a low phosphorous level and there is data from the 1970's to support this. Therefore a phosphorous restricted diet is reasonable as long as you are not already malnourished. Protein restriction is reasonable 0.8 gram/kg/ day if you are not malnourished.
