A kidney-appropriate diet facilitates:
- decreased stress on kidneys
- control of high blood pressure
- avoidance of electrolyte imbalance
- protection of kidneys for an extended period
Goals of the Diet
- Promote proper kidney filtration
- Manage sodium and blood pressure control
- Avoid fluid retention
- Offer moderate protein intake
