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
Do kidney transplant patients still need dietary restrictions?
