@ayu50 The rule of thumb for kidney disease patients, is to find foods that meet these criteria: low potassium, low/no sodium, low phosphorus, normal calcium, watch your sugar intake, as well as your protein intake. As some of us like to say, "if it tastes good, it is not allowed. If it is allowed, it tastes terrible!" Limiting dairy to 1/2 cup a day, no sodas, no tomatoes, no potatoes, little red meat.
Here is a link from the National Kidney Foundation that may help you understand the way you and your doctor will work together to get a good diet in place for you. https://www.kidneyfund.org/kidney-disease/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd/kidney-friendly-diet-for-ckd.html My husband is also a kidney patient, and he received a transplant in late 2016. He based his foods on lab results.
We're here for you for any more questions! Let me know what your doctor will be guiding you to do.
