Foods for Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive kidney disease. It will develop into kidney failure with the deterioration of the illness. There are some foods that will affect the function of kidney. Knowing what you should eat is important for you to protect the kidney function.
Dairy: People with kidney disease have to reduce the amount of dairy products they consume. This includes milk, yogurt and cheese. Other dairy products may be OK in small amounts. Check with your doctor and/or nutritionist to see what they suggest.
Cherry Juice: For those with gout, which is essentially a kidney disease, cherry juice can work wonders. It can not only reduce the flare up you're in, it may help prevent future flare ups. This is because it both helps reduce uric acid and reduces inflammation.
Beef: Unless you have gout, beef should be all right if your kidneys are sound and other health conditions don't preclude it. However, if you have kidney disease, the protein count could be too high for your kidneys to tolerate. Once you've started dialysis, you may be allowed to eat it again. Ask your doctor or nutritionist if it would be acceptable.
Avocados: While the heart healthy monounsaturated fat of avocados might be healthy for your kidneys, the amount of potassium found in them is not. If your kidneys are healthy, enjoy. However, if you've been diagnosed with kidney disease, you need to steer clear.
Potatoes: They are fine if you are healthy, but they are also very high in potassium. This is not good if you have kidney disease, so they have to be skipped. If you do plan to eat potatoes, it is best to leach them first. Soak the raw, unpeeled potato in water for at least two hours before preparing them.
