More than 31 million Americans have kidney disease, which can
progress to end stage renal disease. Most are unaware of their
condition, as the disease is often symptomless until its late
stages. Individuals at higher risk for kidney disease include those
with diabetes or hypertension, as well as adults age 65 and
older, African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans.
As kidney function declines, protein waste and minerals become
hard to remove, and diseased kidneys must work harder to get rid of
them. Each person's kidney diet prescription is different, but the
main nutrients limited in kidney diets include protein, phosphorus,
potassium and sodium.
