Recommendations for advanced renal railure

General recommendations in advanced chronic renal failure:

• All vegetable foods will have to be treated to remove their potassium content. To eliminate the potassium one has to peel, to cut up to dice, to soak for 1 hour, to change the soaking water and to boil.
• *In addition, it is convenient to boil potatoes twice, due to their high content of potassium,.
• *Due to this procedure, it is necessary to prepare the vegetables and fruit the day before eating it (peeling, chopping and soaking, changing the soak water and leaving it overnight)
• *A food chopping machine can help make the process less laborious
• Diet without added salt. You can not use herbs (high in potassium)
• Oil macerated with aromatic herbs can be used to give flavor
• Protein control: the amount of meat, cheese and fish consumed should be reduced. It is important to weigh the amounts, especially at the beginning, to familiarize yourself with the rations. Eggs are a good protein food source for a main meal (take in rations of 1 egg).
• Avoid processed meats: cold meats, red meat and sausages
• Important to avoid tobacco, alcohol and soda
• You must decrease fruit consumption to reduce potassium in the diet
• It is recommended to walk an hour a day

The diet for advanced chronic renal failure is strict. To facilitate the information, a list of permitted foods has been drawn up.

Steps to remove potassium from vegetables

This process has to be done with potatoes, legumes, fruits and vegetables:

• Wash, peel and chop the fruit, potato or vegetables (carrot, zucchini, squash,…)
• Soak with plenty of water 12 hours. Change the soaking water and resoak overnight with plenty of water (minimum 12 hours)
• Preferably, boil and discard the broth. Then, it can be added to recipes: Stir fried onions, grilled vegetables, vegetable stews, sautéed, tortillas, scrambled, baked apples, etc.
