Question

The following food is OK on a Renal tray:

Select one:

a. Spaghetti Marinara

b. Orange juice

c. Apple pie

d. Mashed potatoes

e. Vanilla ice-cream

Answer 1

*A. Spaghetti Marinara can be include in renal tray.

*A renal diet is one that is low in sodium, phosphorous, and protein.You can use vegetables, grains and pasta as the main dish and small pieces of meat, poultry or fish as the side dish. You can also add low-protein pastas to help keep protein within limits.
*We can't prefer option B, C, D(orange, apple, potato) because they are high in Pottasium. When kidneys fail they can no longer remove excess potassium, so the level builds up in the body. High potassium in the blood is called hyperkalemia, which may occur in people with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some of the effects of high potassium are nausea, weakness, numbness and slow pulse.
*We can't also prefer option E vanila icecream because it is rich in protein. High protein intake may lead to increased intraglomerular pressure and glomerular hyperfiltration. This can cause damage to glomerular structure leading to or aggravating chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hence, a low protein diet (LPD) of 0.6–0.8 g/kg/day is often recommended for the management of CKD.

*So it is better to include Spaghetti marinara in the renal tray.
