Eating Well with Stage 4–5 CKD
When your kidneys are working at less than 30%, your nutrition needs become more specific. You might hear new terms, need to change how much salt or potassium you eat, or work more closely with a dietitian.
This course is here to support you through those changes. Whether you’re preparing for dialysis, exploring transplant, or choosing conservative care, your food choices can make a real difference to how you feel. Healthy foods give you more energy, less discomfort, and better days.
You don’t have to overhaul everything at once. This course will guide you one step at a time, with practical tips, simple swaps, and expert advice.
