Managing kidney disease through lifestyle behaviors
Following healthy lifestyle habits can help you prevent kidney disease. And, if you have kidney disease, you can take steps to keep your kidney damage from getting worse and help you feel your best. 

 

Damage to your kidneys cannot be reversed, but you can take steps to slow down the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Ex-pat neighbour, mid-70s, has just been diagnosed with CKD.  Assessments underway to determine what stage he is at.

His present concern is diet.  He's looking for a detailed  diet plan, but has failed to find anything on-line.  I've also looked on-line, and would be grateful for any pointers.

Look on YouTube 

Done that, and what I found was insufficiently detailed.  Any specific suggestions?

It does vary with the stage so that needs to be estsblished first.  Any other co-existing medical conditions will also be relevant e.g. diabetes. It is very important to control blood sugar if diabetic.

One commonality for any stage of CKD is to avoid excess sodium. Avoid processed foods (preservatives contain  sodium), do not add salt or fish / soy sauce to food. And avoid good prepared with MSG, fish sauce, soy sauce, curry paste  or most other Thai sauces.  This last will rule out a lot of Thai foods. 

 

Once his CKD is staged, he should be given specific guidance in terms of how many gms of  protein daily.

Just what was required: many thanks Sheryl and print-out of the web-site gratefully received by my pal.  He's now waiting for blood test results and has been told provisionally that he has somewhere between 'mild' and 'mild to moderate' kidney damage.
