For someone who has kidney failure, dieting isn't an option to lose weight. Dieting is a way of life to keep your kidneys as healthy as they can be in between dialysis treatments. While renal diet guidelines can make you feel like you are doomed to live your life eating only bland foods, adding spice to your foods can give you the variety you need to keep your meal times exciting. Remember to avoid salt and salt substitutes that contain extra potassium, but you can add a variety of herbs and non-salt spices to flavor up your food.

Kidney Diabetes Diet?
Diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure. If you are diagnosed with diabetes, it is extremely important that you eat a healthy diet and take care of your kidneys. When your doctor places you on a kidney disease diet, you limit the foods that are a higher risk to kidney function.Low sodium foodsTypically, when you change your diet for diabetes, you are most concerned with lowering sugar and high-carbohydrate foods, but when your kidney is at risk of failure, it is crucial to cut out high sodium foods as well. This is a good idea as sodium can thicken the bloodstream, and make your heart work harder to pump it through your body. A small amount of sodium is generally necessary for proper bodily functions; however, it is your kidney�s job to process sodium, and when you are at risk for kidney-failure, the sodium starts to build up in your system to dangerous levels. High sodium foods include many canned goods (check the label), salty meats like ham and bacon, cheese (especially processed cheese) and of course adding extra table salt. For a full list always consult your doctor.Potassium and phosphorousJust like salt, these minerals build up in your system when your kidney starts to fail. They are equally as dangerous as they can cause calcium imbalance and irregular heart rhythm. Many otherwise healthy foods such as apricots, grapes, bananas, broccoli, nuts and oranges are high in potassium. Phosphorous rich foods consist of beer, cheese, peanut butter, liver, milk, beans, sardines and ice cream. It is important to obtain a full list of these foods to avoid putting your body at risk.While the American Diabetes Association recommends whole wheat bread to white for diabetics due to the healthier contents, for diabetics at risk of kidney failure, white bread is recommended. White bread has a lower nutritional value including lower potassium and phosphorous nutrients. It is crucial to discuss these issues with your doctor and a kidney specialist when faced with kidney failure as a result of your diabetes. Healthy life changes and careful monitoring of your diet can ease the symptoms of diabetes and kidney failure, and even slow its progression.
What is renal failure?
The causes for kidney failure can be so many. What causes kidney failure is still not understood in some cases. Kidney failure in a person can occur at any age and if it is diagnosed early, chances are damage can be arrested. In many cases of kidney failure where early treatment is given, the prognosis for full recovery from the disease is excellent. Chronic kidney failure appears more common in geriatric dogs than cats and occasionally it is documented in species such as rabbits, birds, reptiles etc. Damage is usually irreversible but the severability of the disease can be temporarily modulated with careful medical and dietary controls. Hope this helps.
How old do you have to be to have kidney failure?
You can get Kidney Disease at any age. I was diagnosed at age 9 with Kidney Disease but had it earlier than that just undiagnosed. Usually it does not get diagnosed until stage 3 of Kidney Disease because that is when post people start to show symptoms. Chronic Kidney Disease means you will end up on either a dialysis machine or need a kidney transplant where as Acute Kidney Disease they might be able to save your kidneys. More can be found out at your local Kidney Foundation depending on what country you are in.
