For people with CKD, latest guidelines recommend a healthy diet like that recommended for everyone else. Some aspects, such as care with salt, are especially helpful to look after the kidneys and slow progression. The leaflets below explain.
Restrictions such as potassium and phosphate are not needed until blood levels rise. This usually happens in late CKD, when people will be under the care of a specialist kidney dietitian

Kidney care leaflet & translation support
The below leaflets can be ordered for free in batches of 100 using the following link: Order patient information resources | Kidney Care UK. They have recently been reviewed by KDSG.
Accessing health information for your patients in languages other than English can be difficult. Kidney Care UK offers solutions to help you translate articles and resources written in English into different languages.
There are two ways healthcare professionals can share Kidney Care UK's information resources in other languages.
- using the Recite Me toolbar on their website for the online pages
- using Google Translate to machine translate PDF resources.
Both of these processes are described on a new page on their website, complete with a step-by-step video: https://kidneycareuk.org/health-professionals/ckd-information-language-support/
Please note that machine translation has its limitations and is still a developing technology.
