Renal Diet: How to Use Diet to Prevent Dialysis and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

By Emily Stevens

Education on your disease and treatment options will likely be the greatest factor in your success or failure in dealing with this disease. This book is meant to be a companion book to Stopping Kidney Disease.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that perform many important functions within our bodies.

They're in charge of filtering blood, removing waste through urine, producing hormones, balancing minerals, and maintaining fluid balance.

There are many risk factors for kidney disease. The most common are uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure.

When the kidneys become damaged and are unable to function properly, fluid can build up in the body and waste can accumulate in the blood.

However, avoiding or limiting certain foods in your diet may help decrease the accumulation of waste products in the blood, improve kidney function, and prevent further damage.

Eating correctly is important for kidney health. People with kidney disease need to monitor intakes of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus especially.

This information should be used as a basic guide. Everybody is different and everybody has different nutrition needs. Talk to a nephrologist and find a meal plan that works well for you.

Kickstart and keep up your kidney health with this complete renal diet guide.
