When you have CKD, your kidneys filter out substances and electrolytes less efficiently. This means that consuming certain foods in excess can lead to an electrolyte imbalance, putting you at risk for an irregular heartbeat or even cardiac arrest. But with proper nutrition, you can slow down the progression of your kidney disease, potentially delaying or even preventing the need for dialysis.

So what is CKD? Essentially, it's when you experience kidney damage or a decrease in function for at least three months. While diabetes and hypertension are the leading causes, kidney inflammation from conditions like lupus nephritis can also lead to CKD.
