My husband has been diagnosed with kidney disease and after reading this book I can tell you it is stage 3 so I am not as frantic since I know that dialysis is not iminent. Before I read this book I was frantic that our whole life was changing and I did now know what was around the corner. I now understand the disease and know what more about what he can eat and do to stop this disease from getting worse. It is really hard to find real information that is not about dialysis and this book is simple to understand and so helpful I learned about medication that can make kidneys worse and medical tests that he should be careful with. I really liked the last chapater that gave us some recent research studies. Together with the cookbook by the same author I feel as if we can get through this10 Step Diet & Lifestyle Plan for Healthier Kidneys Avoid Dialysis

Finally, a book written for me and others who have kidney disease but are not on dialysis! The writing style is crisp and clear and chockful of information that will help me avoid dialysis. I especially like the recipes — I’ve only tried three so far, but they were delicious. Most important, though, is how the author breaks down all the information I need to know so I can control my disease, understand exactly what my lab tests mean, and the effects of my medication. It’s like having a best friend by my side who is an expert in kidney disease. Thank you!

A very helpful book that really helps one to understand the process of kidney disease and how to make changes in your diet and add healthy habbits that can help kidney disease. A great explanation of what all these labs test mean. Each chapter is devoted to one aspect of kidney disease and how to improve it. Easy to follow with lots of case studies that were interesting and helpful

Not only was this book laid out/printed by people who apparently know nothing about publishing, but the author talks out of both sides of her mouth. For examp;e, for an audience that supposedly includes diabetics, she includes marshmallows in a breakfast menu and Rice Krispies Treats as a recommended dessert in a lunch menu. The last time I checked, marshmallows weren’t terribly healthy for anyone, let alone people with kidney disease. The main restrictions in a “renal” diet are sodium, potassium and phosphorus, plus sugar if you are diabetic. She devotes a chapter apiece to the first three, but in each specific chapter she suggests foods that contain unacceptable amounts of the other two and/or sugar. All-in-all, I was able to get more logical and complete information and advice from a quick search on the internet. Please, don’t waste your money or worsen your condition with this book.
