Because the high blood sugar, kidney disease patients need to limit their fluid intake, as high blood sugar level will increase kidney failure.

Patients are recommended to take more vegetables and fruits in their daily diet, because fruits and vegetables contain numerous vitamin and other nutrition, which can help improve patients’ immunity and protect the residual kidney function. But kidney patients need to choose the proper foods depending on their illness condition. Foe example, if they have high potassium level, they need to limit the high potassium fruits and vegetables.
