Diet Plan for Chronic Kidney Failure

What is the diet plan for chronic kidney failure? Diet changes are needed when kidneys shut down, as improper diet not only increase kidney burden, but also increase toxins in the blood. Therefore, knowing how to eat is very important for one with failed kidneys.
1.You will need to limit the amount of protein you eat to help decrease waste in your blood. Foods that are high in protein are meat, poultry (chicken and turkey), fish, eggs, and dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt). Your caregiver will tell you how much protein to eat each day.
2.Avoid eating too many processed foods because there may be thousands of hidden milligrams within each meal. Eat home-cooked meals instead of going out, and cook with a variety of lean proteins and fresh or frozen vegetables.
3.When kidneys fail they can no longer remove excess potassium, so the level builds up in the body. High potassium in the blood is called hyperkalemia. This may occur in people with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). High potassium level in blood cause many problems like nausea, weakness, numbness or tingling, slow pulse, irregular heartbeat, heart failure and sudden death. Therefore, when potassium level is higher than normal range, reduce potassium intake is very important.
4. You may need to limit the amount of liquids you drink each day. If your body retains fluids, you will have swelling and fluid may build up in your lungs. This can cause other health problems, such as shortness of breath.
