Maybe you were told by a doctor you have kidney disease.  You go home with some information and start reading more about it.  The information is helpful but often you feel discouraged as to what is the most important first steps or how do you tweek or overcome some of the challenges from doing this “renal friendly” diet. 

Often times people don’t notice such a huge difference in how they feel though there may be a general tiredness that has developed. Symptoms don’t often appear until the later stages of the disease when kidney function has declined to only a third of what they were able to do.  You can get the best results by working with a renal dietitian.
