When your wife's doctor pertains to renal diet it means that your wife needs to lower down her usual diet and increase some into her diet. First lets talk about the renal diet for phosphorus. When kidney function declines, the body has a difficult time keeping phosphorus and calcium in balance resulting to imbalance. These are the food s that rich/ high in phosphorus intake
• Cola Drinks
• Peanut Butter
• Cheese
• Sardines
• Chicken/beef liver
• Nuts
• Caramels
• Beer
• Ice Cream
while these are food and drink that has low phosphorus
• Broccoli
• Non-dairy milk substitute
• Sherbet
• Non-cola soda
• Zucchini squash
• Hard Candy
If phosphorus level remains high your doctor may prescribe a phosphate binder for you to take. This medication will bind with the phosphorus in the food you eat and prevent phosphorus from being absorbed in the body.
It is important that you take this medication exactly as instructed by your doctor.
Now lets go into renal diet- potassium. Too much potassium can make the heart beat irregularly.These are the food that high in potassium
