Do kidney transplant patients still need dietary restrictions?


Updated by SGH-TRANSPLANTPEDIA
After a kidney transplant, most strict dialysis diets (such as low potassium and low phosphate) are usually no longer needed, as your new kidney can regulate these levels better. However, a healthy and safe diet is still very important: - Limit salt intake to help control blood pressure and prevent fluid retention - Control sugar and fat intake to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease - Avoid raw or undercooked foods to reduce the risk of infection
