How I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and found a second chance
My wife had been telling me to get a checkup for a long time because my legs were swollen and my urine was foamy and I was diagnosed with hypertension before. After taking the chronic kidney failure tests with creatinine on the verge, the doctor told me that I would need dialysis if I was not taking care of myself. At first, I wanted to die, I thought I would get to dialysis quickly, I saw everything black. Over time, I was evaluating and normalizing the care and changes that I needed. It was a second chance - it’s a life change, but one adapts.
My kidney-friendly diet: what I eat to stay healthy
My doctor prescribed me a supplemented reduced protein diet under the supervision of a nutritionist. They were in close communication with me. Now I avoid eating red meat or cold cuts, I eat lactose-free dairy, whole grain noodles, legumes, stews, etc.
