Eating Well Tips
A kidney-friendly diet varies depending on whether a person has healthy kidneys, early-stage kidney disease, or advanced kidney disease, as dietary needs become more specific at each stage.

While there there isn’t a single type of kidney diet, there is some common advice to help everyone take care of their kidney health. Registered dietitian, Dani Renouf, shares this as well as some tips for kidney patients, from newly diagnosed to post-transplant, here on Kidney Wellness Hub.
