When living with chronic kidney disease, managing what you eat and drink can be a challenge. However, your diet can also positively influence how you feel and what other treatments you might need. As kidney disease progresses your dietary needs will likely change. It is also important to recognise that every person with kidney disease is different and has different dietary needs.
A Dietitian experienced in kidney nutrition is the best person to speak to about what food and drinks are best for you. The Dietitian will assess your blood test results and what you are currently eating, and will advise if changes are needed.
Please ask your GP or kidney specialist to refer you to a dietitian for assessment and advice on nutrition for kidney disease.
