Understanding CKD Nutrition

Why These Nutrients Matter

Potassium

High potassium levels can cause heart rhythm problems. CKD patients often need to limit potassium intake.

Phosphorus

Excess phosphorus can weaken bones and cause calcium deposits in blood vessels and organs.

Sodium

High sodium intake can increase blood pressure and fluid retention, putting extra strain on kidneys.

Protein

Protein breakdown creates waste products that kidneys must filter. Too much protein can worsen kidney function.

Preparation Tips

Soak high-potassium vegetables in water for 2-4 hours to reduce potassium content

Choose fresh or frozen vegetables over canned to reduce sodium intake

Use herbs and spices instead of salt to add flavor to your meals

Work with a registered dietitian to create a personalized meal plan
