What Is Chronic Kidney Disease
Kidney disease also increases risk of having heart and blood vessel disease. Advanced
Chronic kidney disease can cause dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes to build
up in your body.
A) Eat less Salt/Sodium- over time, your kidneys lose the ability to control your sodium-
water balance. Less sodium in your diet will help lower blood pressure and decrease
fluid buildup in your body, which is common in kidney disease.
B) Less Potassium- The right level of potassium keeps your nerves and muscles working
well. With CKD, too much potassium can build up in your blood and cause serious
heart problems. Oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, whole-grain bread, and many other
foods are high in potassium. Apples, carrots, and white bread are lower in potassium.
Your doctor may prescribe a potassium binder, a medicine that helps your body get
rid of extra potassium.
C) Less Phosphorus- The right level of potassium keeps your nerves and muscles
working well. With CKD, too much potassium can build up in your blood and cause
serious heart problems. Oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, whole-grain bread, and many
other foods are high in potassium. Apples, carrots, and white bread are lower in
potassium. Your doctor may prescribe a potassium binder, a medicine that helps your
body get rid of extra potassium.
D) Right amount OF Protein- protein than you need makes your kidneys work harder and
may make CKD worse. But too little isn’t healthy either. Both animal and plant foods
have protein. Your dietitian can help you figure out the right combination and amount
of protein to eat.
