Apparently phosphorous and potassium also need to be restricted depending on how advanced the disease is. No doubt Susan will chime in. Never make assumptions.

There are a lot of nutritional considerations for someone with CKD, and a vegan diet can help meet them. Here's detailed information: http://www.nutritionmd.org/health_care_providers/renal/kidney_nutrition.html Let me know if you have any specific questions about this information!
