Nutrition Talk: Clinical Nutrition

Chronic kidney disease is irreversible; the goal is to delay progression by controlling blood sugar and pressure. Diet must be staged: adopt a "low protein" diet (plant-based preferred) pre-dialysis to reduce kidney burden, but switch to "high protein" post-dialysis to prevent muscle loss.

Strictly avoid Starfruit (neurotoxic) and processed foods (high inorganic phosphorus). Avoid low-sodium salts and unproven remedies; scientific dietary management is essential for kidney protection.
