Renal diet

A renal diet is a diet that restricts sodium, phosphorus and potassium.^[1] The diet is recommended for people with late stages^{[clarification needed]} of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Potassium plays a vital role in the body, such as allowing the heart and muscles to work optimally. The diet attempts to reduce the build-up of electrolytes in the blood in order to prevent arrhythmias, bone disorders, fluid overload, vascular calcification and hypertension.^[2]

The renal diet is restrictive. Foods such as potatoes, oranges, avocados, tomatoes, bananas, dairy products and processed meats should be limited or avoided.^[3]
