Why is nutrition so important for the kidneys?

Our kidneys filter all of our blood up to 300 times a day and dispose of waste products and excess fluid. Among other things, they regulate the acid-base balance, blood pressure and perform numerous vital functions.  

In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the kidneys are no longer able to efficiently filter and excrete waste products and excess fluid from the body. The right diet can help to reduce the burden on the kidneys and thus reduce the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, bone problems or kidney failure.

How do I eat kidney-friendly?

In order to provide the best possible support for our kidneys in chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is necessary to keep an eye on and adjust the consumption of certain nutrients.  We have summarized the current study situation, recommendations of the German Society of Nephrology and the German Nutrition Society for you. 

 

Here you will find the four most important rules at a glance:

Protein

Depending on the activity level and stage, the protein requirement is on average 0.8 g per kg body weight per day. This requirement is increased during dialysis.

Potassium

As kidney function declines, it’s important to choose low-potassium vegetables and fruits to ensure that the daily maximum of 1,500 – 2,000 mg is not exceeded.

Phosphorus

If kidney disease affects bone metabolism and phosphate levels rise, a low-phosphate diet will help your bone health. The maximum daily phosphate intake is 0.6 – 1 g.

Water & Salt

The amount to drink is usually between 1.5 – 2 liters per day. A reduction may be recommended in the case of cardiac insufficiency, water retention and depending on urine excretion. The less salt you eat, the less thirsty you will be.

General healthy diet


In general, it is good for your health to follow the general rules of a healthy diet. The “Planetary Health Guidelines” are particularly recommended. 

Special influencing factors


There are many special factors that influence our diet. Some are voluntary, for example if you have opted for a vegan diet, others are involuntary, for example if your blood lipid levels are too high or you have diabetes. With our individual nutrient analysis, you can find out exactly what you need.

Our team

We work on an interdisciplinary basis with a team of experts in the fields of nephrology, nutritional science and nutritional therapy. In addition to more than 20 years of experience and thousands of people we have already been able to support with their nutrition, we are constantly attending specialist conferences in order to actively participate in the latest scientific developments.

 

In addition to our professional expertise, what is most important to us is the interpersonal aspect and the personal connection with our customers. A smile and a light atmosphere help on the way to optimal nutrition. We look forward to getting to know you.
