What are the diet for stage 4 and stage 3 kidney disease? this should be a
common questions for all the kidney disease patients. as we know, kidney
disease patinets need to keep a well planed diet, which can help reduce kidney
burden and protect their kidney function. then what should be the suggested diet
for stage 4 and stage 3 kidney disease patients?
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.
above are the recommended diet for stage 3 and stage 4 kidney disease
patients, and we hope this will be helpful for thier illness condition. however,
since the specific illness condition will be different from case to case, so
they need to first ask their doctors to make a well planed diet depending on
their illness condition.
