The Health Diet for Stage 3 Kidney Failure

Patients with stage 3 kidney failure have many restrictions on their diet, and then what is the common food for patients to consume and what kind of food that patients should not eat.
The kidneys are responsible for many functions in the body. They help control the body's fluid and electrolyte (mineral) balance and also help the body remove waste products (products that the body cannot use). When the kidneys are not functioning properly, these waste products can build up in the body and make your child feel sick. This can cause your child to have a poor appetite, which can contribute to poor growth and development. The goal of the diet for children with renal failure is to encourage adequate intake to promote growth, while controlling intake of protein, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, and fluid, as needed.
The following foods are high in protein and you should discuss appropriate amounts with your health care provider if your child has renal failure:

Meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey)
Fish
Seafood (shrimp, scallops, clams, oysters)
Eggs
Dairy products (milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, pudding)

Most foods contain some amount of potassium. It is important to avoid or limit foods that are high in potassium if your child is on a low-potassium diet, or if your child's blood level of potassium is too high.
Some foods that are high in potassium include:

Bananas
Prunes
Oranges
Potatoes
Orange juice
Sweet potatoes
Grapefruit juice
Tomato sauce
Cantaloupe
