When you’re new to Kidney Disease
It’s common for patients to feel overwhelmed in a doctor’s office, because there is a lot of information to take in at once. The best way to gain control is to become your own advocate. It’s OK to ask as many questions as you like and to ask for the information to be repeated. If being assertive is difficult, ask a friend or family member to come with you. Take notes you can remember any additional questions or concerns that occur between visits. It’s good to become proactive when you’re new to kidney disease. Here are some questions to ask your doctor:
* What caused my kidney disease?
* What percentage of kidney function do I have now?
* What are my lab test results, including my GFR?
* What treatment is available for my symptoms?
* What are the next steps?
* What can I do to keep my kidneys from becoming more damaged?
* Will I eventually need dialysis or a transplant? If so, what is the timeline?

New to the Renal Diet
Changing your eating habits can be an effective way to slow the progression of kidney disease in some cases. Even when you have early stage CKD, you may find it helpful to start working with a renal dietitian. Your doctor, nurse or local hospital’s nutrition department may be able to recommend one; or visit the American Dietetic Association website.
Adopting healthy eating practices when you are new to kidney disease is one of the best ways to support your health. The recommendation for an early stage CKD diet is to eat high quality proteins, carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables and grains) and fats that provide a healthy amount of calories. Your dietitian may ask you to decrease the amount of protein you eat, especially if you normally eat a high protein diet. When protein is digested, waste products are created. And the less your kidneys have to work to remove waste from your body, the better.
Although the renal diet isn’t a cure, it can help slow the development of your kidney disease. |
