However, there are solid solutions for kidney sickness that are obscure to individuals with CKD. An eating regimen low in protein and phosphorus is typically one that is plant-based. This is a decent kidney illness diet yet isn't normally advanced. Rather, in the US and numerous western nations, individuals grow up being instructed that they should eat bunches of meat to be sound.

It makes sense of circumstances where kidney sickness is reversible and ways of forestalling reversible decreases in kidney capability. It disperses numerous legends about CKD treatment that have no advantage and, at times, might be risky. For patients who are contemplating about whether dialysis is in their future, the book offers multiple ways of anticipating on the off chance that dialysis is logical or impossible in a CKD patient's future. It spreads out upsides and downsides of the different choices for patients who are thinking about a kidney relocate or dialysis and makes sense of why getting a kidney relocate before dialysis is at any point begun or picking home peritoneal dialysis are the two most ideal choices for most CKD patients who require a kidney substitution treatment. Don't let CKD rob you of your quality of life. You can reclaim your health and happiness with this book.

Book excerpt: This book written for the average reader, offers useful information for patients with very mild CKD to those patients who need to plan for dialysis or kidney transplant.

This diet not only can slow CKD progression but can also help patients to live longer and better. It offers the best treatments for the medical problems that can come with a diagnosis of CKD. For most patients this book will alleviate concerns about having CKD and for some patients with advanced CKD it offers an approach that can delay the start of dialysis for many months or even years in some cases. It explains why low and very low protein diets, promoted by many kidney books for patients, is usually not beneficial and may even be harmful. It provides the latest recommendations for treatment of CKD that comes from international kidney doctor organizations. The book is organized in a way that provides information for all patients with CKD in the first part of the book and has information in later chapters for patients whose CKD has progressed. For those patients who want to get the "meat" of the book, the final chapter provides a summary of all the book's material. Some patients may want to start here and read the full chapters at their leisure. The book is referenced with current kidney disease publications. It explains situations where kidney disease is reversible and ways to prevent reversible declines in kidney function. It dispels many myths about CKD treatment that have no benefit and, in some cases, may be dangerous. For patients who are wondering about whether dialysis is in their future, the book offers several ways to predict if dialysis is very likely or very unlikely in a CKD patient's future. It lays out pros and cons of the various options for patients who are considering a kidney transplant or dialysis and explains why getting a kidney transplant before dialysis is ever started or choosing home peritoneal dialysis are the two best options for most CKD patients who require a kidney replacement therapy.
