kidney failrue means the gradually reduction of kidney funciton. when
patients suffer from kidney failure, they need to have know exactly what can eat
and what cant eat in their daily diet, which can help reduce the kidney burden
and protect the kidney funciton. so patients need to know what foods should be
avoided in their daily diet.
Avoid foods with high sodium content
Too much sodium in the diet can cause fluid retention and raise your blood
pressure. Seasonings like soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, canned foods, processed
meats, snack foods, pizza, hot dogs, pickles, cheese, and even frozen vegetables
with sauce are high in sodium. Avoid them. Keep your daily sodium intake less
than 1.5g.
Reduce salt intake
The best way to cut back on sodium is to avoid excess intake of salt. Fresh
food contains only 10 percent of sodium and the rest comes from the salt used in
cooking! Do not use salt substitutes since most of them contain high amount
potassium, which is again a bad choice for kidney failure patients.
Cut back on potassium
Depending on the stage of your kidney failure or the medication you are
taking, you may need to change (reduce) the potassium intake in your diet. It is
usually not restricted until urine output begins to decrease. Potassium levels
of 6.5 or higher can lead to a cardiac arrest. Most foods contain potassium but
the following should be avoided
FruitsApricot, banana, prunes, kiwi, melon, raisin, orange and orange
juice.
VegetablesPotato, tomato, sweet potato, cooked spinach, baked beans, lima
bean, kidney bean, pinto bean, and dried peas
Milk may not be the right choice
Avoid or limit milk or milky drinks up to half a pint per day if you are
suffering from kidney failure. Milk is high in potassium content. In some people
it may lead to milk-alkali syndrome wherein there is a shift in the body's
acid-base balance towards alkaline because of high levels of calcium. This may
permanently damage the kidneys since this condition is not reversible if one
suffers from kidney dysfunction.
Eliminate high phosphorus foods
Potassium is present in almost all foods. Unfortunately, control of
phosphorus is very difficult in patients with kidney failure because phosphorus
levels increase in the blood as the kidneys cannot remove it in the urine.
Elevated phosphorus levels decrease the level of calcium in the blood leading to
bone disease. It is, therefore, important to eliminate high phosphorus foods
such as milk, beans, black eyed peas, lima beans, chocolate, and milk products
viz. yogurt, cheese and desserts made with milk.
above are the foods that should be avoided for kidney failure patients in
their daily life, which will be helpful for their illness condition. if you
