Thanks a lot my father is 63, he has removed one of his kidneys 7 years ago because it was poly kistic. What should he eat in order to improve the function of his single kidney?
Hi. The diet that he needs depends on the present status of the kidney functions. In general a diet which has low fat, low salt is needed. Calorie consumption must be just adequate to maintain his body weight, anything more has to be avoided. His fluid consumption must also be maintained strictly. A dietician may be able to frame a diet based on his body weight, his present kidney function status and presence of other comorbid condition.
