Can What You Eat Reverse Kidney Disease?

My mother donated me kidney 14 years ago. I am living a healthy life. My creatine is now 1.5 .

CKD patients need more guidance on how to best follow a whole plant based diet. We need charts that list each food with its protein content per half a cup portion in order to figure out what foods and how much of it we can put on our plates at each meal in order not to go over the daily limit. We are told to restrict our protein intake to a certain daily amount based on body weight but I have not been able to find a standardized chart that tells me at a glance the protein content for each food so I can plan my meals accordingly. We shouldn’t have to be guessing every time we fix our plates. The same goes for phosphorus, potassium, sodium and fat content. This should be the most basic resource that a CKD patient should have available at the PCP and nephrologist’s office, at the National Kidney Foundation etc. If you know if such a chart exists please let your viewers know, I and most of us would certainly buy it immediately. Thank you.

Pretty good advice. I changed my diet to total vegan and ended up with high protium and hospitalized. Beans other than green beans were stopped. Then I added back oysters sardines, albacore tuna, calf liver and 93% lean 4 oz hamburger Pattie’s. Result: HbA1c 5.4 with no meds for type 2 diabetes. And by using frozen blue berries, Fiji apples baked with Ceylon Cinnamon and fresh salad consisting of ice berg lettuce, red onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, white button mushrooms, red radish with olive oil and vinegar most days, but 2 times a week a cabbage soup consisting of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red onion, green beans, peas, white mushroom, red bell pepper in water with turmeric and thyme and fresh cracked black pepper I have a better eGFR. Went from 3 B to 3A. And went from 205 lbs to 130 lbs. walk outside not less than 2 miles but never more than 11 miles. Now that weight is off usually 3 miles a day. Food can be poison to medicine to your body!

My daughter had a kidney problem 42yrs old only. Thank you for the info. New friend here.

Thank you doctor I like the way you explain things. It is very non-threatening and logical. I have taken notes and will comply😊

I reversed kidney disease in my 12 year old schnauzer. Vet was shocked and told me my dog now has the blood panel of a puppy! Glory to God, my baby and I have much more time together!

I appreciate your honesty and clarity! So many of us desire to become more healthy without relying completely on meds alone and, it is refreshing to know some things that may contribute in assisting the path to improved health. Thanks!
