Renal Diet or Diet for Kidney Diseases

Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. When chronic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body.Chronic kidney disease can affect almost every part of your body.

Potential complications may include:

1. Fluid retention, which could lead to swelling in your arms and legs
2. High blood pressure, or fluid in your lungs (pulmonary edema)
3. A sudden rise in potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia), which could impair your heart’s ability to function and may be life-threatening
4. Heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease
5. Weak bones and an increased risk of bone fractures
6. Anemia
7. Decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction or reduced fertility
8. Damage to your central nervous system, which can cause difficulty concentrating, personality changes or seizures
9. Decreased immune response, which makes you more vulnerable to infection

For cure You need to have a kidney-friendly meal plan when you have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Watching what you eat and drink will help you stay healthier. A kidney-friendly diet may also help protect your kidney from further damage by limiting certain foods to prevent the minerals in those foods from building up in your body.
