A renal diet is one that is low in sodium, phosphorous and protein. A renal diet also promotes the importance of consuming high-quality protein and usually limits fluids. Some patients may also need to limit potassium and even calcium. ?Limit foods that are high in potassium and sodium. ?Limit milk and dairy products to 8 oz per day. ?Choose fresh fruits and vegetables. ?Avoid salt substitutes & seasonings with potassium. ?Read labels on packaged foods & avoid potassium chloride. ?Use fresh, rather than packaged meats. ?Choose fresh fruits and vegetables or no salt added canned and frozen produce. ?Avoid processed foods. ?Limit total sodium content to 400 mg per meal and 150 mg per snack ?Eat smaller portions of foods high in protein at meals and for snacks. ?Pay close attention to serving size. Fluid control is important for patients in the later stages of Chronic Kidney Disease because normal fluid consumption may cause fluid build up in the body which could become dangerous.
