Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon, i can understand your anxiety.Diet is very important in renal failure patients.
1. salt restricted to 5gm/ day. No added salt while eating food.
2. 40gm protein/ day. Avoid red meat totally.
3. 2000 calories / day in an adult,but adjusted according to body weight.
4. No fresh fruits or coconut water,as they're potassium rich.!!
5. Fluid intake should be strictly,urine output plus 400 ml/day.
If you've any other doubts,send a direct question,in my name.
