I am scheduled to see a nephrologist in late may should I be on any kind of diet restrictions?i have never smoked but I drink one light beer a day
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. As you are having only one kidney, so your renal system is compromised. GFR is much reduced, and vitamin D deficiency and anemia are also related to kidney. You should watch their protein consumption to avoid taxing the kidneys as they heal. A low-cholesterol and low-saturated-fat diet is good. High-potassium foods such as bananas, kiwis, avocados, prunes and prune juice, tomato juice and sauce, nuts, Chat Doctor.  Vitamin D and Calcium supplements would be helpful. Hope it helps. Take Care!
