Is egg curry safe for kidney patients?

Use 2 egg whites + 1 yolk in a low-salt gravy for stages 3-5. The yolk's phosphorus and the gravy's sodium are the limits. Restaurant egg curries are usually too salty.

Egg curry combines egg (moderate phosphorus in yolk) with a salt-heavy gravy (450 mg/100g). For CKD stages 3-5, use more egg whites than yolks and a low-salt gravy. The egg itself is kidney-friendly; the gravy is the issue.
