###Human: What diet can a chronic kidney disease patient follow? ###Assistant: Hello. I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity) Your reports are fine. Albumin is good that shows that your nutritional status is fine. Potassium is low that accounts for generalized weakness. So now decrease your food restrictions by 20%. You increase the intake of fruits by one a week. Regarding non-vegetarian diet what you are taking is more than enough because above that it will increase your phosphorus. You can increase the intake of pulses. There are specific books that you can read to cook food for a CKD (chronic kidney disease) diet. You should give maximum focus on salt restriction rather than other things. Chillies can be used as per flavor. THere is no harm. Need to take water in summers and should take at least 1.5 liters of water that is equal to your urine output. In winters, the intake should be slightly less. Medications are all fine. The mainstay to control CKD progression is strict blood pressure control. So keep your blood pressure checked at home in the mornings and evenings and keep a target of less than 130/80.
