Eating healthy with kidney disease
Healthy eating for each stage of kidney disease
What you eat and drink plays a big role in your health when you have kidney disease. Understanding and following a kidney-friendly food and fluid plan every day can feel like a full-time job. There are many things to consider, like different nutrients, the amount of fluid you consume and how and what to eat depending on your stage of kidney disease.
We have broken down healthy eating for each stage of kidney disease to ease some of the burden of having to navigate a kidney-friendly food and fluid plan and to help guide you through your journey with this disease – from stages 1 and 2 all the way through post-transplant living.
