Diet plays a vital role in managing kidney disease—often more so than many other treatment factors. If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD) or reduced kidney function, your healthcare provider may recommend following a kidney-friendly eating plan, commonly known as a renal diet.
Rethinking the Traditional Renal Diet
Conventional kidney diets typically focus on limiting just three key nutrients: sodium, phosphorus, and potassium. While this approach is standard, it often falls short for many patients.
Most people living with CKD also face multiple comorbid conditions—issues that may be worsened or left unaddressed by a narrow dietary focus. At Kidneyhood, we believe in going beyond the traditional model. Our goal is to help manage, treat, or even prevent as many related conditions as possible.
What Is a Renal Diet?
A renal diet is designed to support kidney function and reduce the buildup of waste in the blood of patients suffering from kidney disease. It typically involves careful control of sodium, phosphorus, potassium and protein.
By following a well-structured kidney diet, you can help slow the progression of kidney disease, manage symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life.
What Makes the Kidneyhood Renal Diet Approach Unique?
The Kidneyhood Renal Diet is designed for individuals with kidney disease who want to slow, stop, or better manage the progression of this incurable condition. It forms the foundation of the broader Kidneyhood Program—the first clinically proven system for managing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
What sets Kidneyhood apart is its integrated approach: combining a carefully structured renal diet with Albutrix (a low-protein amino acid supplement) and Microtrix (a specialized low dose multivitamin). Together, this trio has been clinically shown to improve key kidney function markers such as eGFR/GFR, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels.
Importantly, the Kidneyhood.org program is the only renal diet system that complies with modern guidance from:
- National Kidney Foundation (NKF)*
- Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics *
- International Society of Nephrologists
*Guidance is from the 2020 Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) and 2024 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)
Are Renal Diet Meal Plans or Recipes for Kidney Disease Available?
Yes. Our Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide offers comprehensive support for anyone managing kidney disease through diet. It is the first renal diet guide to include detailed data on acid load and antioxidant values, providing insights far beyond traditional nutrient tracking.
What you’ll find inside:
- Sample meal plans based on a variety of popular cuisines
-
A reference guide for common fruits and vegetables, including detailed information on:
- Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL)
- Protein
- Potassium
- Sodium
- Phosphorus
- Antioxidant values
The meal plans and CKD recipes in this guide are based on the science presented in Stopping Kidney Disease—the highest-rated kidney disease book available, which has already helped hundreds of patients better manage their condition.
For additional support, a selection of recipes is also available in the Recipes section at Kidneyhood.org.
