Kidney disease can be sneaky, showing no apparent signs in its early stages. Unfortunately, by the time it’s diagnosed, significant damage might have already been done, sometimes leading to the need for dialysis. To address the rise of kidney disease, specialists have suggested 10 common foods to safeguard kidney health, potentially staving off decline and lowering the chances of developing kidney disease.
A meta-analysis involving approximately 630,000 adults evaluated the relationship between dietary patterns and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study showed that regularly consuming a healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and fish can help prevent CKD and albuminuria. Albuminuria is an early indicator of kidney damage and an independent risk factor for CKD progression.
