Phosphorus, a mineral, may be in many foods you consume. Research shows that even in early kidney disease, limiting phosphorus can change kidney disease progression, as well as make a difference in mineral and bone disorders and cardiovascular health. When you have kidney disease, it's important to keep levels under control and stay within a daily intake of 800 and 1,200 mg. Work with a renal dietitian to help you manage your phosphorus intake based on your needs. To help guide you in knowing which foods are low in phosphorus, here are 7 lists of low-phosphorus food choices for a kidney diet.
