Kidney Disease Nutrition
Kidney Disease Nutrition
Kidney disease affects the body’s ability to filter waste, regulate fluids, and maintain electrolyte balance. A well-structured diet plays a crucial role in managing kidney function, slowing disease progression, and preventing complications. At Sai Dental and Wellness Centre, Dr. Shilpi Gupta (M.Sc. in Food and Dietetics) offers personalized nutrition plans designed to support kidney health through scientifically backed dietary interventions.
Why is Diet Important for Kidney Health?
The kidneys help remove toxins and excess nutrients from the body. When kidney function declines, waste products accumulate in the blood, leading to fatigue, swelling, high blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances. A well-planned diet can reduce the strain on the kidneys, improve symptoms, and enhance overall health.
Key Aspects of a Kidney-Friendly Diet
✔ Controlled Protein Intake – To prevent excessive strain on the kidneys while maintaining muscle health.
✔ Sodium (Salt) Restriction – To reduce blood pressure and swelling (edema).
✔ Balanced Potassium Levels – Managing potassium intake to prevent heart complications.
✔ Phosphorus Regulation – Avoiding excess phosphorus to protect bone health and kidney function.
✔ Adequate Fluid Intake – Personalized hydration plans to prevent fluid retention and kidney overload.
✔ Anti-Inflammatory Foods – Nutrient-dense meals to reduce kidney stress and inflammation.
