Overview

Are you tired of eating the same old thing every day but don't know how to spice it up? A Renal diet is a diet that is used for people with kidney disease, including those undergoing dialysis and those who have had a kidney transplant. It was developed to meet the needs of individuals with impaired renal function, based on the fact that foods can be classified into 3 groups: High-protein foods have high levels of nitrogenous compounds which contribute to albumin and creatinine production which are related to kidney function. Low-protein foods are relatively high in potassium and magnesium. High-mineral content vegetables are recommended as they reduce the need for oral medications. This book covers: - What You Need to Know About Kidney Disease - The Meal Plan - Breakfast - Snacks and Sides - Salads - Vegetable Mains - Seafood Mains - Poultry and Meat Mains - Desserts - Soups And much more! There are three categories of people on renal diets: those with chronic renal disease (defined as patients with serum creatinine levels greater than 1.7 mg/dL), those with acute kidney injury, defined as patients with a sudden increase in serum creatinine levels without other known cause), and those undergoing hemodialysis. The protein requirement is based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with GFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2 have their protein calculated at 0.8 g per kilogram body weight (kg), while those above 30 have it calculated at 0.45 g per kg, or a total of 60-90 grams of protein per day overall.
