Suggest Diet For Kidney Failure Patient
My husband is on kidney dialysis and we have been good with his renal diet but we need to be better phosphorous wisewise. My problem is that it is not listed on the label and canned foods etc are driving me crazy. I am trying to find out how many mg of phosphorous is in franco-american spaghetti which he might have when I am gone.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Good to know you're following the renal diet as advised for dialysis patients.
The kidney function tests, Calcium, phosphorus and uric acid with sodium and potassium will be checked in hospital on a regular basis. Only if needed, the dietician will give advise regarding phosphorus. So, don't worry about that.
Take care and ensure the dialysis is done regularly as advised.
