About the procedure

Dietary modification, particularly salt restriction, is an essential part of managing kidney disease, high blood pressure, and heart conditions. Reducing salt intake helps control blood pressure, decrease fluid retention, and reduce strain on the kidneys and heart. A low-sodium diet supports the effectiveness of medications and helps prevent swelling and breathlessness. Patients are advised to choose fresh foods, limit processed items, and follow individualized dietary plans for better long-term health outcomes.
