People with weak kidneys need a breakfast:
Low sodium (salt): to avoid water retention, reduce the filter burden.
Control potassium and phosphorus: because the kidneys are impaired, they do not excrete these minerals well.
enough high-quality protein but not too much: provides essential amino acids without increasing blood urea.
Rich in fiber, easy to digest: helps control blood sugar and reduce toxins.
Breakfast for people with weak kidneys should have 250-350 kcal, protein from easy-to-absorb sources, less than 15g of protein/meal, limit processed foods.
Suggestions for a bright menu based on scientific evidence:
Oatmeal porridge with low-calm milk
Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which helps reduce cholesterol absorption and control blood sugar. Low-calorie milk (or kidney milk) helps supplement calcium without overloading the phosphorus.
White bread + just boiled eggs
White bread has less insoluble fiber and less potassium than whole wheat bread. Eggs provide high-quality protein but should only eat 1 fruit.
Eggs are a good source of protein for people with CKD because they are rich in essential amino acids and are easy to digest.
White rice porridge cooked with freshwater fish
catfish and carp provide lean, low-purine, and reduce the production of oxygen waste.
A lean fish breakfast helps reduce blood ure compared to eating red meat.
Season thoroughly, do not use fish sauce with too much salt.
Breakfast drink
Chamomile tea or warm water is a safe choice, helping to gently purify the body.
Avoid whole soy milk or or orange juice because it is high in potassium and phosphorus.
Dishes to limit for breakfast:
People with weak kidneys should avoid dishes with a lot of salt, protein or minerals that are difficult to control: Salty sticky rice, cold meat balls (high in sodium).
Pho, bun bo ca cham with broth full of stewed bones (phosphorus).
Whole milk does not control protein levels.
According to the WHO, a diet high in sodium and phosphorus is a factor that accelerates the progression of kidney failure, increasing the risk of early blood filtration.
People with weak kidneys should eat on time, not skipping breakfast to help stabilize blood sugar and avoid fatigue.
Always combine easy-to-digest starch + high-quality protein + low- potassium vegetables (for example, a few slices of cucumber).
Limit salty spices, do not use too much dipping sauce.
Monitor your potassium and ure blood levels periodically and adjust your menu according to your doctor's advice.
