The kidneys play an important role in body
function:
–
–
–
–
Filtering the blood
Removing waste products
Balancing electrolytes - Sodium and Potassium
Fluid balance
Renal Diet

At MUSC renal diet patients are limited to:
–
–
–
–
2000mg Sodium
2000mg Potassium
1200mg Phosphorus
Protein intake is monitored and/or restricted on an
individual basis.

Soaking Potatoes
A special process called “leaching” or
soaking helps remove the potassium from
potatoes. This can be done at MUSC giving
renal patients more food choices.
Renal Sample Diet
•
Dinner
2oz grilled pork chop
½ cup rice
½ cup green beans with onion and basil
½ cup applesauce
Dinner Roll
1 cup water with lemon
Low Sodium Diet

At MUSC low sodium diets are
given to those who have
hypertension (high blood pressure),
cardiac, liver or renal disease.
o

Sodium raises blood pressure.
Low Sodium Diet = 2 grams
sodium/day.
o
Each meal can exceed the sodium
limit by 100 mg.
Why Low Sodium?


Sodium raises blood
pressure.
If untreated, high blood
pressure will eventually
damage the heart, causing:
o Stroke
o Heart attack
o Heart failure
Foods to Limit
•
•
Sodium is typically higher in processed and
convenience foods, such as:
o Ham, bacon, sausage, and other deli-style meats
o Canned vegetables
At MUSC low sodium diets do not allow:
•

•
Ham, Bacon, or Sausage
Soups (except reduced sodium chicken noodle)

glucose, so lack of it can
lead to diabetic
complications.
