15 Practical Fitness Tips for Kidney Patients: Using RPE for Intensity, Progressive Overload, Protein Without Harming Your Kidneys, SARC-F Sarcopenia Self-Test, Warm-up & Breathing, Hydration and the Potassium in Sports Drinks

Once you know you *should* exercise, the real sticking points are how, how much, and what to eat. This article answers the 15 questions kidney patients ask most: the RPE scale, how much weight to add each week, protein targets for non-dialysis CKD / dialysis / transplant, what to eat after training, the 5-question SARC-F test, warm-up and cool-down, breathing, the potassium content of sports drinks, and which symptoms mean stop. Every tip cites its evidence.

Glycemic Index Food Guide for Diabetic Kidney Patients: Full Low/Medium/High GI Table, Recommended and Not-Recommended Lists, and How to Balance Potassium, Phosphorus and Protein

Diabetes plus kidney disease is the hardest diet to manage: control glucose, limit potassium and phosphorus, and get protein just right. This guide lists the GI and glycemic load of 90+ everyday foods, flags which low-GI foods are also low in potassium and phosphorus (truly recommended), which are low-GI but high-potassium (handle with care), and which high-GI foods to avoid — plus pre- vs post-dialysis protein, safe hypoglycaemia treatment and a sample day.

Dining Out and Travel Food Guide: How to Look Up Ingredients, Ask Restaurants and Order — Dialysis and Transplant Patients Addressed Separately

More than "what not to eat": nutrient databases by country (USDA, Open Food Facts, Taiwan/Japan/Korea), a hazards-and-safe-picks table for seven cuisines, trilingual restaurant phrase cards, dialysis-day planning, and food safety and grapefruit-family identification for transplant recipients. Dialysis and transplant populations are kept separate throughout.

Fact check: "Every kidney patient must strictly limit potassium — no bananas, tomatoes or potatoes." Is that true?

The most widely shared rule in patient groups — yet KDOQI 2020 and KDIGO 2024 actually recommend individualising potassium to blood levels. We separate CKD 1–3, CKD 4–5, dialysis and transplant, explain who needs restriction and how much, and what blanket restriction can cost.
