Book Overview
Kidney function or renal function are the terms used to explain how well the kidneys function. A healthy individual is born with a pair of kidneys. This is why whenever one of the kidneys loses its functioning, it goes unnoticed due to the function of the other kidney. But if the kidney functions further drop altogether and reach a level as low as 25 percent, it turns out to be serious for the patients. People who have only one kidney functioning need proper external therapy and, in worst cases, a kidney transplant.
The Renal diet controls your consumption of sodium, protein, potassium and phosphorous. A renal diet contributes to preventing renal failure. When we make changes to our diet, we often focus on the restrictions or foods we should avoid. While this is important, it's also vital to learn about the foods and nutrients we need in order to maintain good health and prevent disease. Consider the related conditions that contribute to high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, and the dietary changes often suggested to treat and, in some successful cases, reverse the damage of these conditions.
Dietary changes for the treatment and prevention of disease often focus on limiting salt, sugar, and trans fats from our food choices, while increasing minerals, protein, and fiber, among other beneficial nutrients. The renal diet also focuses on eliminating, or at least limiting, the consumption of various ingredients to help our kidneys function better and prevent further damage from occurring. Renal diets help people with kidney disease increase their quality of life. This book covers:
