When the kidneys become damaged and are unable to function properly, fluid can build up in the body and waste can accumulate in the blood.

However, avoiding or limiting certain foods in your diet may help decrease the accumulation of waste products in the blood, improve kidney function and prevent further damage.

If you have kidney disease, reducing your potassium, phosphorus and sodium intake can be an important aspect of managing the disease. Here are some foods that you should likely avoid on a renal diet:
-cola
-avocado
-canned food
-wholegrain wheat bread
-brown rice
-bananas
-dairy products
-oranges/orange juice
-processed meat
-pickles
-olives
-relish
-apricots
-potatoes(including sweet potatoes)
-tomatoes
-instant and pre-packed meals
-spinach
-beets
-dates
-raisines
-prunes
-pretzels
-chips
-crackers

Cauliflower is a kidney-friendly vegetable that is high in many nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K and the B vitamin folate.

It’s also full of anti-inflammatory compounds like indoles and an excellent source of fiber.

Plus, mashed cauliflower can be used in place of potatoes for a low-potassium side dish.

When you prepare your own food, you control what goes into it.

Potassium is a mineral found in almost all foods. Your body needs some potassium to make your muscles work, but too much potassium can be dangerous. When your kidneys are not working well, your potassium level may be too high or too low. Having too much or too little potassium can cause muscle cramps, problems with the way your heart beats and muscle weakness.

However, low potassium is better than high potassium and you should therefore consider this diet:
*Apples, cranberries, grapes, pineapples and strawberries
*Cauliflower, onions, peppers, radishes, summer squash, lettuce
*Pita, tortillas and white breads
*Beef and chicken, white rice

Your doctor may also tell you to take a special medicine called a potassium binder to help your body get rid of extra potassium.
