Dietary management is crucial for patients with renal failure - regardless of the diagnosed stage of renal failure. Having the knowledge to manage your diet will equip the patient to limit the buildup of waste products and toxins in the body. Having a personalized meal plan can minimize symptoms of fatigue and also slow the progression of kidney disease by limiting dietary consumption of large molecules and waste products that the kidneys struggle to filter. Knowing what to eat empowers the patient to have better controlled health outcomes and quality of life.
