Choosing nutritious foods can be an important part of supporting kidney health and overall well-being. Some foods that may fit into a kidney-friendly eating pattern include apples, blueberries, cabbage, cauliflower, bell peppers, onions, garlic, egg whites, fish such as salmon, and olive oil.

These options can provide important nutrients while helping add variety and flavor to meals. However, kidney-friendly nutrition is not the same for everyone.

Depending on kidney function, a person may need to adjust their intake of potassium, phosphorus, sodium, protein, or fluids. For this reason, it is best to discuss food choices and portion sizes with a health care professional or renal dietitian who can personalize recommendations to your individual needs.
