RENAL DIET for Chronic Kidney Disease
information from the
National Institutes of Health
When you have chronic kidney disease, you need to make changes in your diet, including:
- Limiting fluids
- Eating a low-protein diet (this may be recommended)
- Restricting salt, potassium, phosphorus, and other electrolytes
- Getting enough calories if you are losing weight
Your recommended diet may change over time if your kidney disease gets worse, or
if you need dialysis.
Purpose of the RENAL DIET
information from the
National Institutes of Health
The purpose of this diet is to maintain a balance of electrolytes, minerals, and
fluid in patients who are on dialysis. The special diet is important because dialysis
alone does not effectively remove ALL waste products. These waste products can also
build up between dialysis treatments.
Most dialysis patients urinate very little or not at all. Therefore, fluid restriction
between treatments is very important. Without urination, fluid will build up in
the body and lead to excess fluid in the heart, lungs, and ankles.
RENAL DIET Recommendations
from the
National Institutes of Health
CARBOHYDRATES
If you are overweight or have diabetes, you may need to limit the amount of carbohydrates
you eat. Otherwise, carbohydrates are a good source of energy for your body. If
your health care provider has recommended a low-protein diet, you may replace the
calories from protein with:
•Fruits, breads, grains, and vegetables. These foods provide energy, as well as
fiber, minerals, and vitamins.
•Hard candies, sugar, honey, and jelly.
If needed, you can even eat high-calorie desserts such as pies, cakes, or cookies,
as long as you limit desserts made with dairy, chocolate, nuts, or bananas.

FATS
Fats can be a good source of calories. Make sure to use monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
fats (olive oil, canola oil, safflower oil) to help protect your arteries. Talk
to your doctor, nurse, or dietitian about fats and cholesterol that may increase
your risk for heart problems.
PROTEIN
Low-protein diets may be helpful before dialysis. Your doctor or dietitian may recommend
a moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day).
Once you start dialysis, you will need more protein. In fact, a high-protein diet
with fish, poultry, pork, or eggs at every meal may be recommended. This will help
you replace muscles and other tissues that you lose.
People on dialysis should eat 8 - 10 ounces of high-protein foods each day. Your
doctor, dietitian, or nurse may suggest adding egg whites, egg white powder, or
protein powder.
Online database: Protein Content of Foods
CALCIUM and PHOSPHORUS
Calcium and phosphorus, two other important minerals in the body, are also monitored
closely. Even in the early stages of chronic kidney disease, phosphorus levels in
the blood can become too high. This can cause:
•Low calcium (this causes the body to pull calcium from your bones, which can make
your bones weaker and more likely to break)
•Itching
You will need to limit the amount of dairy foods that you eat. This includes milk,
yogurt, and cheese. Some dairy foods are lower in phosphorus, including tub margarine,
butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, brie cheese, sherbet, and nondairy
whipped toppings.
Fruits and vegetables contain only small amounts of phosphorus.
You may need to take calcium supplements to prevent bone disease, and vitamin D
to control the balance of calcium and phosphorus in your body. Ask your doctor,
nurse, or dietititan.
If dietary measures to lower phosphorus are not enough, your doctor may recommend
"phosphorus binders."

FLUIDS
In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you do not need to limit how much
fluid you drink. As your kidney disease becomes worse or when you are on dialysis,
you will need to watch how much you drink. In between dialysis sessions, fluid can
build up in the body.
Your doctor and dialysis nurse will let you know how much you should drink every
day. Do not eat too much of foods that contain a lot of water, such as soups, Jell-O,
popsicles, ice cream, grapes, melons, lettuce, tomatoes, and celery.
Use smaller cups or glasses and turn over your cup after you have finished it.
Tips to keep from becoming thirsty include:
•Avoid salty foods
•Freeze some juice in an ice cube tray and eat it like a popsicle (you must count
these ice cubes in your daily amount of fluids)
•Stay cool on hot days
SALT or SODIUM
Reducing sodium in your diet helps you control high blood pressure, keeps you from
being thirsty, and prevents your body from holding onto extra fluid. A low-salt
diet is usually needed.
Look for these words on food labels:
•Low-sodium
•No salt added
•Sodium-free
•Sodium reduced
•Unsalted
Check all labels to see how much salt or sodium foods contain per serving. Also,
avoid foods that list salt near the beginning of the ingredients. Look for products
with less than 100 mg of salt per serving.
Do not use salt when cooking and take the salt shaker away from the table. Most
other herbs are safe, and you can use them to flavor your food instead of salt.
DO NOT use salt substitutes because they contain potassium. People with chronic
kidney disease also need to limit their potassium.
Online database: Sodium Content of Foods
POTASSIUM
Normal blood levels of potassium help keep your heart beating steadily. However,
too much potassium can build up when the kidneys no longer function well. Dangerous
heart rhythms may result.
Potassium is found in many food groups, including fruits and vegetables. Choosing
the right item from each food group can help control your potassium levels.
When eating fruits:
•Choose peaches, grapes, pears, cherries, apples, berries, pineapple, plums, tangerines,
and watermelon
•Limit or avoid oranges and orange juice, nectarines, Kiwis, raisins or other dried
fruit, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew, prunes, and nectarines
When eating vegetables:
•Choose broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, green
and wax beans, lettuce, onion, peppers, watercress, zucchini, and yellow squash
•Limit or avoid asparagus, avocado, potatoes, tomatoes or tomato sauce, winter squash,
pumpkin, avocado, and cooked spinach

IRON
Patients with advanced kidney failure usually need extra iron.
Many foods contain extra iron (liver, beef, pork, chicken, lima and kidney beans,
iron-fortified cereals).
