※ Protein.
Chronic Kidney Disease always leads to the loss of protein, so parents may have a question: does the child need to have food rich in protein? The answer is NO, because the high intake of protein cannot elevate the protein amount in blood, but also burden the kidneys and impair the kidneys further. Then, do they need to be far away from protein? The answer is also NO, because children cannot grow normally without enough protein.List of Food That Is Good for Stage 4 CKD Protein Limits for CKD Stage 4 Patients
Keeping a normal intake of protein is enough. When kidney diseases are controlled well, proteinuria will disappear gradually. What should be concerned should not only be the quantity of protein but also include the quality of protein. The protein that children with Chronic Kidney Disease should take in is superfined protein, which is mainly contained in milk products, eggs, meat, etc.

Not all the children with Chronic Kidney Disease should limit the intake of water and salt. In period acute of kidney disease, especially when the children patients have heavy edema, there is already too much water in their body. At this time, if they have too much salt and water, the edema will become heavier then, resulting in disordered electrolyte in blood, high blood pressure, dropsy in liver and even cerebral edema. Consequently, soup and beverage should be avoided, and the intake of salt should be limited. Generally speaking, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients should control their salt intake within 4g.
Once the edema disappears, and the blood pressure is normal, children patients can keep a normal diet, since children cannot grow normally with limitation of salt.
※ Fat.
Chronic Kidney Disease can arouse Hyperlipidemia, so the intake of fat should be lowered. Too much fat in blood will accumulate in blood vessels and lead to cardiovascular diseases such as Thrombus and Atherosclerosis. Therefore, food with low cholesterol is available and their fat content should be less than 30%. Fish and animal viscera should be avoided.
※ High fiber food.
Steroid is the main medicine for those who have Nephrotic Syndrome. It can make the patients have a better appetite, so children patients will always want to eat. Edible fiber can absorb the toxins in body, combine with cholesterol and slow down the absorption of glucose. Therefore, food with high fiber, low fat and low calories is a good choice for children with Chronic Kidney Disease.
