"@gingerw, not sure where to post this info I found this AM and not positive it was DaVita but here goes: Most kidney diets start with a goal of 1,500 to 2,000 mg per day or the amount recommended by your doctor or dietitian. The sodium recommendation for stage 4 CKD is 1,000-4,000 mg/day based on fluid balance, blood pressure and other diseases that may affect sodium requirements.(DaVita?)"
What are your thoughts? How closely do you watch your daily sodium intake? While I admit to an occasional binge on tortilla chips [with red pepper hummus!], I do not watch too many labels on food, since we eat few packaged foods. For me, even low-fat cottage cheese tastes salty, as does celery! My last lab result for sodium had me within normal range, for me.

@gingerw, your comment about celery mirrors my own experience. The less salt I use the more I notice the natural saltiness of foods, especially celery. Am in the process of re-checking recommended amts of various minerals for stage 4 CKD and will send you what I find out.
