Diet or Food Principles for Kidney Disease Patients

Diet or food can be regarded as the natural treatment of chronic kidney disease patients.
1. Water intake
To decrease all those risk factors, fluid intake is advised to be 500-700 ml more than urine output the day before. For instance, if urine output is 500 the last day, water intake should be within 1000-1200ml in the following day.
2.Salt intake
Excess salt intake can aggravate edema and high blood pressure in kidney disease, especially kidney failure. Generally, salt intake should be less than 3g per day. But for those with severe swelling and obviously reduced urine output, sodium intake should be limited more strictly.
3.Restrict high potassium foods
(1) High potassium vegetables: celeries, spinach, mushroom, seaweed, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, celeries, rape, parsley.
(2) High potassium fruits: bananas, dates, oranges, grapefruits, dates, persimmons, mango, cantaloupe and carambola.
