What do the kidneys do?Two of the kidneys’ mostimportant jobs are:
• filtering wastes out of the blood
• forming urine to carry these wastes out of the body
As part of this process, the kidneys adjust theamounts of the following in the blood:
• water
• minerals (among them, calcium and phosphorus)
• electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride)
Maintaining the body’s balance of water,minerals, and electrolytes is very complex.
Most of the wastes, minerals, and electrolytesthat the kidneys remove come from the foodswe eat. When protein is digested, a wasteproduct called urea is formed. Urea and otherwastes are combined with water in the kidneysto form urine.

This booklet was developed to help people with early kidneydisease or reduced kidney function understand their conditionand the importance of good nutrition in their daily lives.
If you have chronic kidney disease, save this booklet as a handy reference to remind you of how your nutritional needshave changed since your doctor told you that you have reduced kidney function. You should talk to your health careprofessional about the importance of a good diet.
Your physician/dietitian/nurse recommends the following diet:

diabetes, high blood pressure, hereditary kidneydisease, drug side effects, and blockage bykidney stones. People can lose more than halftheir normal kidney function before they start tonotice symptoms of kidney disease. Some ofthese symptoms are nausea, vomiting, tiredness,and loss of appetite.
Why is diet important with reducedkidney function?The work of the kidneys can be made easierby limiting the intake of certain foods,especially those that are high in protein.Following a low-protein diet can help slowdown damage to the kidneys and may delay the need for dialysis treatments.
Your doctor may refer you to a registereddietitian (RD). An RD can individualize a diet based upon the level of kidney functionand other medical conditions (for example,diabetes or hypertension).

What happens when the kidneysdon’t work normally?Most people have two kidneys—one on theright side of the lower back and the other onthe left. People can live fairly normal lives withonly one healthy kidney. If part of a kidney isdamaged or diseased, the healthy part worksextra hard to make up for the loss.
A damaged or diseased kidney, however, maynot be able to filter enough waste from theblood. If this happens, wastes and electrolytesbuild up in the blood and act like poison.
What is chronic kidney disease?With chronic kidney disease (also called renal disease), the kidneys don't filter enough wastes from the blood. Some people withchronic kidney disease still have the ability to filter the blood and make urine, but withreduced capacity.
Reduced kidney function can result from anumber of causes. The most common are

•Sufficient calorie intakeIf you don't get enough calories every day, the body will break down muscle for energy(calories), resulting in weight and muscle lossover time. To make sure your calorie needsare being met, your doctor or dietitian mayrecommend increasing the intake of high-calorie,low-protein foods such as margarine and oils,honey, syrups, jam, jellies, and hard candies.
For people with diabetes and reduced kidneyfunction, amounts of fat and carbohydrate can be adjusted so the diet provides enoughcalories and still follows dietary guidelines.
•Protein intakeFoods that contain proteinproduce urea and other wasteswhen they are digested.Normally, these wastes areprocessed by the kidneys and areexcreted in the urine. With reducedkidney function, this excess proteinplaces added stress on the kidneys. Following alow-protein diet can help slow down damage tothe kidneys and may delay the need for dialysis

What is dialysis?Dialysis is a treatment that does some of thethings typically done by healthy kidneys. It is needed when your own kidneys can nolonger take care of your body’s needs. If aperson has kidney function that is reduced tothe point when the kidneys do not work at all,they will need a machine to do the work theirkidneys once did. These machines are known asdialysis machines and the process by which theblood is filtered through these machines isknown as “dialysis.” Reduced kidney functionmay also be referred to as “pre-dialysis.”
What is a good diet for people withreduced kidney function?People with reduced kidney function have specificneeds that make their diets different than usual.And by eating right and following a special diet as prescribed by your doctor or dietitian, researchhas shown you may be able to prevent or delaythe need to go on dialysis. To help identify betterfood choices, refer to the tables in the back of this booklet. Work closely with your health careprofessional to develop a diet that includes someor all of the following:

treatments. Some protein is important in the diet,and it should be high-quality protein such as thatfound in eggs, fish, chicken, and meat. High-quality protein provides the right amount ofessential amino acids needed to build, maintain,and repair body tissue.
The amount of protein recommended by your dietitian depends on your body size. This is calculated from your body weight. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, yourrecommended range would be 40 to 68 grams of protein each day. At least 1⁄2 of this proteinshould come from high quality sources.
A dietitian can tell you exactly how muchprotein and how many servings of high-proteinfoods you should have each day. For example,one ounce of chicken contains 7 grams of protein.See Table 1 on page 12.
•Potassium intakeThe amount of potassium in the diet is usuallynot a problem in the early stages of kidneydisease. However, as the condition progresses,potassium intake may need to be reduced.Potassium is found in fruits, vegetables, milk,cheese, and nuts. See Table 2, page 13.
•Sodium intakeSodium is found in many processed foods andis a major component of table salt. Too muchsodium in the diet can contribute to high bloodpressure. Kidney disease is often associatedwith high blood pressure, which can harm theheart or even cause a stroke. To reduce sodiumin the diet, foods can be seasoned with spicesand herbs instead of salt. See Table 3, page 14.
•Phosphorus intakePhosphorus is a mineral found in cheese, milk, and meat. In kidney disease, the bodycan’t keep a balance between calcium andphosphorus. The result is too little calciumand too much phosphorus in the blood. Doctorsmay prescribe a phosphate binder, a medicinethat helps control the phosphorus level in theblood. See Table 4, page 15.

Are there other nutritional choices forpeople receiving dialysis?
Many people who aren't able to eat well have found medical nutritional products to beconvenient and beneficial to their diet. Medicalnutritional products are designed to be consumed with regular meals, or occasionally in place of them.
Ross has developed a special medical nutritionalproduct especially for people with reducedkidney function. It is called SUPLENA®,Therapeutic Nutrition for People With ReducedKidney Function.
•Calcium intakeYou need to be sure you are getting enoughcalcium to prevent bone disease, withoutdrinking too much milk or eating too manydairy products. Milk and other dairy productsare rich in calcium, but they also contain a lot
of potassium and phosphorus, whichmay be limited in your diet. Your
doctor may prescribe a supplementto help you get enough calcium.
•Vitamin intakeThe kidneys are important in
metabolizing several vitamins, soselected vitamins need to be supplemented
and the intake of others should be controlled.
If a vitamin supplement is not prescribed, you should ask your doctor or dietitian for arecommendation before taking one.
