Renal diet

A renal diet is a diet that restricts foods which are high in sodium, potassium and phosphorus.[1] The diet is recommended for people with late stages of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. The diet attempts to reduce the build up of micronutrients in the blood in order to prevent, arrhythmias, bone disorders, fluid overload, vascular calcification and hypertension.[2]

The renal diet is restrictive. Foods such as potatoes, orange juice, tomatoes, bananas, dairy products and processed meats should be avoided. Further more foods such as orange/ orange juice and avocados also contains a good dose of potassium therefore it’s recommended to be limited and/or avoided. [3]
