Kidney Patient Guide

The treatment of kidney failure : Diet



Cookbooks, menus and recipes

Your diet sheet will probably include tips on bending the rules safely when you are eating out, but your Renal Unit may have other leaflets available which cover aspects such as adapting your diet at Christmas. Do ask the renal dietitian.


There are a number of cookbooks that have been written specifically for the renal patient. Here are some that we know about:

  • "Enjoying Food on a Renal Diet" edited by Marianne Vennegoor

  • "Food for Life" by Lawrence Keogh

  • "Eating Well with Kidney Failure" by Helena Jackson, Annie Cassidy and Gavin James
