Kidney Diet Foods

In the early stages of kidney disease, you will need to eat the correct type of kidney diet foods. If you have kidney disease your kidneys are unable to process and get rid of the wastes from your blood. These wastes come from the food that you eat and from the fluids that you drink. Kidney disease progresses over time until eventually, the kidneys will fail.

The types of food you can eat will primarily be given to you by your doctor and dietitian as you will be on a specific kidney diet. Listed below are some foods that can be incorporated into your diet plan.
