@donyork Oh, dear! Quite the range of conditions to have to monitor! Moderate exercise, lots of fluids, good protein [little to no processed meats]. Watch the potassium, phosphorous, and calcium, and processed sugars in your foods. When dealing with different health issues, I actually created a library or spreadsheet of what I could choose from. Sometimes, something has to give, and while sometimes I will hear, "everything in moderation" for me that plan doesn't work. My mind has a difficult time that idea of "moderation", being an emotional eater at times.
Ask you primary care for referral to a dietician, or from the oncology center you attend. Mine conducted a telephonic review with me and included a renal approach, with was great!
What do you do right now for a diet and foods that work for you?

Donyork, perhaps you can jot down what you generally eat throughout a typical day over a few days then using your smart phone or computer check each food for sodium, protein, potassium, phosphorus, fiber, cholesterol, fat, calories. Make appointment with a highly recommended dietician or nutritionist and ask them for help in tweaking your diet for your various issues. Johnmacc
With all your named conditions, hopefully you have a team of doctors. Perhaps, the next step is to be sure that there are no conflicts with your medications. After that, find a dietician who will guide you with varying options of food. I would imagine that your PCP will work with you continually by checking your lab results at least every 3 months. For me, I found my best choices at the Mayo Clinic with my PCP.
