The renal diet (or Kidney Diet) needs to be individualized. Everyone should discuss their particular situation with their nephrologist. However, there are some guiding principles to consider.
In early-stage CKD (Stages 1-3), dietary restrictions may be quite modest. Generally, lower protein diets help slow the progression of kidney disease. As CKD progresses and kidney function worsens, diet becomes even more important.

Please discuss a dietary plan that suits your needs with your physician. At PRINE we offer nutrition consultations to supplement your physician’s recommendations. These consults can help provide more specific information, resources, and strategies individualized to your own needs.
Our nutritionists work with our nephrology and urology providers to provide both general and individualized stone prevention dietary strategies. You can get these through our offices or signup online for virtual consultations.
