नमक और प्रसंस्कृत खाद्य पदार्थों से मिलने वाला सोडियम — किडनी रोग में द्रव प्रतिधारण और उच्च रक्तचाप का मुख्य कारण। किडनी रोगियों के लिए दैनिक लक्ष्य 2000-2300 मिलीग्राम (लगभग 5 ग्राम नमक) से कम है।
Sodium drives thirst, fluid retention, hypertension, and proteinuria in CKD. Renal guidelines recommend under 2,000-2,300 mg/day (about 5 g salt). Roughly 70% of dietary sodium comes from processed and restaurant food, not the salt shaker. High-sodium foods include pickles, cured meats, canned soups, and packaged snacks. Dialysis patients also restrict fluids, making sodium control doubly important.
