Eating For The Health Of Your Kidneys

Types Of Kidney Diseases

There are many different kidney conditions and kidney diseases that may warrant some changes to the patient’s diet. Conditions and diseases include renal cysts, polycystic kidney disease, kidney cancer, kidney stones, end-stage renal failure (ESRD), nephrotic syndrome, and much more. The conditions and diseases all result in minimal kidney functionality, sometimes resulting in kidney failure. However, there are many treatments such as antibiotics and dialysis that can begin to regain the function of the patient’s kidneys alongside following a kidney-friendly diet of low salt, low synthetic sugar, and antioxidant-rich foods. If the kidney disease progresses into ESRD, the patient may become dependant on a dialysis machine, or may even need a kidney transplant.
