⚠️ SPECIAL WARNING ABOUT SODIUM (SALT) IN PROCESSED FOODS

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOODS - VERY HIGH SODIUM (>1000mg/100g):

  • 🚫 Dried fish, dried shrimp, dried squid: 2000-4000mg sodium (20-40 times daily limit!)
  • 🚫 Salt-cured meat, smoked meat, bacon: 1500-2500mg sodium
  • 🚫 Sausages, deli meats, processed meats: 800-1500mg sodium
  • 🚫 Pork floss: 1200-1800mg sodium
  • 🚫 Canned shrimp, canned fish (in brine): 600-1200mg sodium
  • 🚫 Fish sauce, fermented fish paste: Extremely high sodium

⚠️ CKD patients should consume <2g sodium/day (2000mg). 100g dried fish = exceeds 2x the entire daily allowance!

💡 Recommendation: Prioritize FRESH meat, fish, and seafood, cooked with NO SALT or LOW SALT. ABSOLUTELY AVOID dried, salted, smoked, or pre-processed foods.

⚠️ WARNING ABOUT PURINE AND URIC ACID

EXTREMELY HIGH PURINE FOODS (>400mg/100g) - ABSOLUTELY AVOID:

  • 🚫 Organ meats: Liver, heart, kidney, tongue (300-1000mg purine)
  • 🚫 Dried seafood: Dried shrimp, dried fish, dried squid (500-800mg purine)
  • 🚫 Fatty fish: Herring, mackerel, sardines, anchovies (300-500mg purine)
  • 🚫 Shellfish: Clams, scallops, mussels, oysters (200-400mg purine)
  • 🚫 Concentrated bone broth: Very high purine content

⚠️ CKD patients need to limit purine to avoid uric acid accumulation. High uric acid causes kidney damage and increases cardiovascular risk.

💡 Recommendation: Prioritize low-purine protein: egg whites, freshwater fish, skinless chicken breast. Limit high-purine foods. Drink adequate water (if not fluid-restricted).

⚠️ Disclaimer

Data Source: Nutritional values are referenced from USDA FoodData Central. Values vary depending on cooking method (boiling, steaming, grilling, frying), meat cut, and fish species.

About Sodium: High sodium in processed foods comes from ADDED SALT. Fresh meat/fish/seafood has naturally low sodium (<100mg/100g). Cook without salt or with minimal salt.

About Phosphorus: Phosphorus in animal protein has 40-60% absorption, lower than phosphorus in processed foods (80-100%). However, total amount still needs to be controlled.

Not a substitute for medical advice: This information does NOT replace advice from your doctor. CKD patients need to adjust protein intake according to disease stage. Monitor with regular lab tests.

Recommendation: Prioritize fresh protein, simple cooking, NO SALT. Absolutely avoid dried, smoked, salted, or canned foods. Limit animal protein as directed by doctor (0.6-0.8g/kg for CKD stages 3-5).
