text: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
  critical to keep track of everything you eat and drink if you have chronic
  kidney disease (CKD). This is due to your kidneys' inability to clear waste
  materials from your body as efficiently as they could. A kidney-friendly diet
  can help you live longer and healthier.
  What Does It Mean to Eat a
  The kidneys' main job is to eliminate waste and excess fluid from your body through pee.
  They also include:
  - Maintain a healthy fluid balance in your body.
  - Minerals such as salt and potassium should be in balance in your body.
  - Produce hormones that have an impact on the functioning of other organs.
  A kidney-friendly diet is a method of eating that aids in the prevention of
  additional kidney damage. Some meals and drinks will have to be limited so that
  other fluids and minerals, such as electrolytes, do not build up in your body.
  Simultaneously, you must ensure that you acquire the proper balance of protein,
  calories, vitamins, and minerals.
  If you have
  CKD in its early stages, you may have few, if any, dietary restrictions.
  However, as your sickness progresses, you'll need to be more cautious about the
  foods you consume.

  pressure is affected by sodium. It also aids in the maintenance of your body's
  water balance. Kidneys that are in good shape keep salt levels in check.
  However, if you have CKD, your body accumulates extra sodium and water. Swollen
  ankles, elevated blood pressure, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup around
  your heart and lungs are all symptoms of this. In your daily diet, you should
  strive for fewer than 2 grams of sodium.
  To reduce sodium in your diet, follow
  these simple steps:
  - Table salt and high-sodium spices should be avoided (soy sauce, sea salt, garlic salt, etc.).
  - Cook at home because most fast food has a lot of sodium.
  - Instead of salt, experiment with various spices and herbs.
  - If at all possible, avoid packaged foods. They have a high salt content.
  - When shopping, read the labels, and choose low-sodium goods.
  - Before serving, rinse canned items (vegetables, beans, meats, and fish) with water
  phosphorus should be minimized
  minerals are required to keep your bones healthy and strong. When your kidneys
  are in good shape, they filter out the phosphorus you don't require. However,
  phosphorus levels can get excessively high if you have CKD. You're at risk for
  heart disease as a result of this. Furthermore, your calcium levels start to
  fall. Your body compensates by pulling it from your bones. This can make them
  frail and more easily broken.
  If you have
  late-stage CKD, your doctor may recommend that you consume no more than 1,000
  mg of phosphorus each day. This can be accomplished by:
  - Choosing foods that are low in phosphorus (search for the word "PHOS" on the label)
  - Increasing your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables
  - Choosing grains made of corn and rice
  - consuming light-colored carbonated beverages
  - Meat, poultry and fish consumption are being reduced.
  - Keeping dairy to a minimum
  - Calcium-rich foods also contain a high amount of phosphorus.
  The doctor may advise you to
  limit your calcium-rich foods.
  The following dairy foods are low in
  - Swiss or brie cheese
  - Sour cream or regular or low-fat cream cheese
  may also advise you to stop taking calcium supplements over-the-counter and
  prescribe a phosphorus binder, which is a medication that regulates your
