Protein Intake in Kidney Disease
✓ Fact-checked against sourced references · Editorial standards
Protein is essential, but the amount must be balanced — too much burdens the kidneys, too little causes muscle loss.
On dialysis
Dialysis removes protein, so people on dialysis often need more, not less.
Frequently asked questions
Should I avoid dal with kidney disease?
Not necessarily; portions depend on stage and phosphorus. A dietitian guides this.
