Eat the right amount of protein. Proteins are important part of your daily nutrition, but the nitrogenous waste coming from them can harm the kidneys. Don’t eat too much amounts of protein-rich foods such as eggs, beef, pork, chicken and fish.

Consult your doctor for the right amount of protein-rich foods to eat. The recommended amount is usually like 0.6 g of protein-rich food per kilogram of meals per day for someone who has a GFR that’s below 25 ml/min. This is just to give you a rough estimate.

Strictly watch your sodium intake. Cut down on the salt. The sodium part of it can hold large amounts of water, which can make your body swell or you feeling short of breath. Too much water inside makes the kidneys work harder.

Processed foods and refined foods are a big no-no. Learn how much sodium is contained in your meals and then if possible, learn how to compute sodium intake. Most recommended kidney failure diets contain about 1500 – 2000 mg of sodium per day.

Cut down on cholesterol. Avoid saturated fats to lower the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This is most especially for cases as advanced as stage 3 or stage 4 kidney disease.
