Dietary Advice
Many sufferers of Kidney Disease are placed on special diets by their consultants and dieticians. As the kidneys play a key role in filtering and maintaining various levels in the blood when they fail to function effectively those levels must be maintained manually. You should always take medical advice on diet as an incorrect balance could leave you you with dangerously low or high levels of vital vitamins and minerals.
On this page we have gathered together information and links for various common diets used by people living with CKD. We hope that they will provide some inspiration at meal times.
