At Cross Renal Health, we're dedicated to empowering you to thrive, even with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Today, let's talk about two key pillars of healthy living with CKD: managing your diet and adhering to your medication regimen.
ππ«π¨πππ’π§ ππ¨π°ππ«:
Protein is crucial for building and repairing tissues, a renal-friendly diet prioritizes the right type and amount of protein.
Choose HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN sources: Opt for lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based options like beans and lentils.
BUT Limit processed meats, and saturated fats: These can increase your workload and raise cholesterol levels.
Renal Diet: Do you know which foods are kidney-friendly and which ones to limit? Remember, a balanced renal diet can help:
πΈManage blood sugar levels
πΈControl blood pressure

Taking your medications as prescribed is vital for managing CKD and preventing complications.
Understand your medications: Ask your doctor about their purpose, potential side effects, and how to take them safely.
Don't skip doses or adjust dosages: This can be dangerous and affect your treatment outcomes.
Communicate with your doctor: Report any side effects or concerns promptly.
