For the patients with Renal Failure, their kidneys can not function well thus causing accumulation of water and metabolic wastes in body. Therefore, they have to pay more attention to what they eat in daily life so as to prevent further damage to their kidneys. 1. The patients with Renal Failure should limit protein intake The end product of protein is urine nitrogen. In normal condition, it can be excreted out of body by kidneys thus maintaining the normal level in blood and putting extra pressure to kidneys. Therefore, the patients with Renal Failure should arrange their protein intake properly. Moreover, as proteins are important nutrients for building muscle and repair tissues, the patients should have certain amount of high quality protein in their diet. 2. Keep an appropriate sodium intake As the patients with Renal Failure lose the normal renal function in excreting fluid, it is very likely to cause accumulation of water in body. Moreover, high sodium intake is also a risk of high blood pressure. Therefore, the patients with Renal Failure, especially for those with sever edema and high blood pressure, should limit sodium intake strictly and avoid eating food with high salt. 3. Keep proper potassium intake When the kidneys fail or can not function well, there may be accumulation of potassium, which will increase the risk of heart failure. Therefore, the patients with Renal Failure should avoid eating foods rich in potassium. The patients should remember that those foods are also essential for the body so they should not be avoided when the potassium level in blood is in the normal range. 4. Decrease phosphorus intake High consumption of rich phosphorus food has many adverse sides on the patients with Renal Failure. It can cause damage to arteries and degrade the health of hearts. Therefore, the patients should limit phosphorus intake strictly. The above article has provided some tips for Renal Failure diet.
