Jessica Prohn, RD and renal nutrition specialist, shares the critical role renal-friendly diet plays in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Jessica Prohn, a registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in renal nutrition, says a renal-friendly diet plays a critical role in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD).
In the latest episode of Kidney Health Connections, Prohn highlights the value of early dietary intervention, emphasizing its impact on slowing disease progression and improving patient quality of life.
Maintaining a healthy diet can be confusing for CKD patients, especially when they are also managing other conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. As Prohn explains, there is no one-size-fits-all kidney diet, as nutritional needs depend on the stage of CKD and treatment modality. An individualized approach—rooted in each patient’s unique medical history, lifestyle, and comorbidities—is essential when crafting dietary recommendations.
