Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension — a fruit-, vegetable-, and low-salt eating pattern adapted for kidney patients.
DASH emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein, and low sodium. For kidney patients, DASH must be modified: high-potassium fruits/vegetables are limited in stages 3b-5 and dialysis, and dairy (high phosphorus) is portion-controlled. The DASH-Sodium variant (1,500 mg sodium) is the closest fit. Always adapt DASH to your potassium and phosphorus budget.
Persistently elevated blood pressure - the second leading cause of kidney failure and a driver of CKD progression at every stage.
Sodium from salt and processed foods — the main driver of fluid retention and blood pressure in kidney disease.
Potassium obtained from food and drink — the main modifiable driver of blood potassium levels in kidney disease.
The eating plan for dialysis patients - higher protein (1.2 g/kg/day) with tight potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and fluid control.
The bidirectional failure of heart and kidneys — one organ's dysfunction worsens the other.
