Diet is very important because you do not want place any undue stress on your kidneys. My diet consists of high quality proteins such as certain fruits, vegetables, and fish. Also, monitoring salt, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus intake is important as well. You should consult your nephrologist to determine the correct daily intake. When I was first diagnosed with CKD I met with a renal dietician and learned a lot about the correct foods to eat, developing a good diet plan and how to read labels. Fresh foods are a must. No soda, no junk food, and no fast food restaurants.

Thank you so much for replying back. Your input as another person going through CDK3 is very helpful. I can't thank you enough. Doctors here in the US just give you a template of veggies, fruits and water intake but don't go to details. For example someone here was mentioning soup. It is good to have actual everyday people's menu that they make for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so I can get my mom excited about meals and not demoralize her. She has the renal dietician appointment coming up of course too. I have been as per nephrologists instructions serving her 1 egg in the morning with veggies and a strip of chicken cutlet. Lunch: Chicken cutlet or salmon and broiled string beans and carrots and cucumber. Dinner: yogurt with zucchini. The doctor was trying to have her take Forxiga which works almost like a diuretic to flush out all bad sugar. I am not sure that that will work out because my mom is drinking 6-8 glasses a water a day and using the restroom constantly. That will have her blood sugar drop I am sure too. her blood sugar runs normal now.
Thank you so much! You have been extremely helpful.
