In stage 3 chronic kidney disease, a right diet plan can do a lot to ease patients’ symptoms and slow down the progress of their illness condition. Therefore, it is necessary to find out what foods to eat and avoid with Stage 3 CKD.
Foods to eat for patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease
In this stage, kidneys can still work by themselves, although their work may be not so perfect. Therefore, patients should eat more foods that won’t make kidneys overwork.
These foods are:
- Sources of high-quality protein

- Foods with diuretic property
In stage 3 kidney disease, extra fluid will retain in the body that may induce high blood pressure and edema. Foods with diuretic property can help overcome these problems, because they can stimulate kidneys to remove more fluid.
- Vegetables and fruits
Most of vegetables and fruits won’t increase the burden on kidneys, if patients’ potassium and phosphorus levels are normal.

For these patients, controlling the intake of the following foods can make them live easier with their own kidneys.
- High-sodium foods: These foods can worsen patients’ fluid retention and increase blood pressure.
- High-fat foods: When kidneys are unable to filter blood normally, extra fat intake will increase the risk of abnormal blood circulation.
- High-sugar foods: If patients’ kidney disease is caused by diabetes, this point should be paid highly attention.
These are only some dietary suggestions for patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease. To get a food list to eat and avoid for yourself, you can consult the doctor online.
