RENAL DIET
A set of guidelines for people with kidney disease.
A diet prescribed in chronic renal failure and

designed to control intake of protein, potassium

sodium, phosphorus, and fluids, depending
on individual conditions.
Carbohydrates and fats are the principal

sources of energy.

INDICATIONS
The benefits of the kidney diet are enormous.

Patients who have been diagnosed with early

to late kidney failure must follow a special
diet in order to slow deterioration and lessen
their symptoms.
Patients who do not follow a special diet will
inevitably see their disease become worse
more quickly.
Patients who do follow this diet usually feel
better and can prolong the use of their
kidneys.

MEAL PATTERN
Foods that are high in protein are meat, poultry

(chicken and turkey), fish, eggs, and dairy (milk,

cheese, yogurt)

Foods that are high in phosphorus are dairy

products, beans, peas, nuts, and whole grains.

Phosphorus is also found in cocoa, beer, and cola
drinks

Table salt, canned foods, soups, salted snacks, and

processed meats, like deli meats and sausage, are

high in sodium.

Potassium is found in fruits and vegetables. You

may have to limit fruits and vegetables that are

high in potassium
