Common Questions About Renal
What does a renal diet limit?
Usually sodium, and often potassium and phosphorus. Protein may be measured too, based on your stage and lab results.
Why limit potassium and phosphorus?
Damaged kidneys struggle to clear them. High levels can affect the heart and weaken bones over time.
Are all fruits off-limits?
No. Lower-potassium fruits like apples, berries, grapes, and pineapple are usually fine in suitable portions.
Should I cut protein completely?
No. Protein is measured, not removed. People on dialysis often need more, so follow your dietitian's targets.
Why is a dietitian important here?
Renal needs vary by stage and labs. A renal dietitian sets personal limits and updates them as your results change.
