A member asked:
Sodium swelling still not down please could you help me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling: If you are referring to swelling from high sodium intake, you could try cutting down to a 1500 mg/day sodium diet. Consider elevating the concerned limb. You might need diuretics. See a doc for that. Read the article below for more info: http://www.Kidneydoctorbradenton.Org/2013/04/diet-for-patients-with-kidney-disease.Html.
