Starting toward kidney failure. What diet changes will extend the life of the kidney function?

Question:

Answers:
To begin with, eat a balanced healthy diet - as little sugar, refined carbs, and processed food as possible; plenty of fruit and veges. Balance is the key.

It is important for kidney problems not to have too much protein or sodium. Don't drink too much water or too little, try keep it at what your body needs to stay hydrated, which will probably be around the recommended intake.
