The Kidney Diet Guidelines

The kidney diet is a set of guidelines for patients experiencing some level of kidney failure. Because every kidney patient is unique, each kidney diet may be slightly different.

People who have been diagnosed with kidney failure should see a renal dietician to determine the exact specifications of the kidney diet they should follow.

Whether a person is experiencing early or late stages of kidney failure, whether they are receiving dialysis treatment and which type, as well as regular nutritional factors such as height, age, and weight will play a role in determining what sort of diet should be followed.

In any case, renal patients must be very careful and take their diet seriously. Careful adherence to a kidney diet can lessen the symptoms of kidney failure and prolong the usefulness of the kidneys.
