Overview

Do you suffer from edema, urination problems, weight gain or weight loss? Is your blood pressure high? If so, chances are you have a kidney disease. A renal diet is a low salt and fluid diet. This diet is used primarily for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those on dialysis. Those with CKD need to limit their intake of potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and protein as well as fluids to lower the burden on their kidneys. This leads to an overall lower calorie intake. Creatinine levels in the blood and urine are often monitored to track changes in kidney function over time. With this information, health care providers can help reduce medication doses when needed or make changes for dietary adjustments such as reduced protein intake if too much protein is consumed or increased fluid intake if not enough fluids are consumed preventing dehydration from occurring even further. This book covers: - What You Can Eat and What You Should Avoid in Renal Diet - Breakfast - Main Dishes - Fish and Seafood - Meat - Poultry - Vegetables - Smoothies and Drinks - Soup, Salad, Snacks & Light Meals Recipes - Spice Blends and Seasoning And much more! Specific dietary concerns can be identified by a physician monitoring blood and urine levels. For example, sodium restriction is needed for those with high serum potassium (hyperkalemia). Potassium restriction may be needed for those with reduced renal function. Calcium restriction is recommended in people with hyperparathyroidism to reduce the risk of bone fractures. If extra calories are required, one might choose to add a small amount of protein as animal protein has about twice as many calories per gram as plant protein. This might be considered if energy needs are greater than total caloric intake per day or if fluids are restricted during the diet period. You will Never Stop Using this Awesome Book!
