The Role of the Alkaline Diet in Kidney Health

Caroline Passey, Renal Dietitian, at Portsmouth Hospital, explains how an alkaline diet might help your kidney health. Kidneys play an extremely important role in keeping your body's pH value just above 7 by removing acids produced by your metabolism. When you have kidney disease, it's more difficult for your kidneys to remove acid from your blood and can result in acidosis - which can affect your bones, muscles and kidney function. Research suggests that lowering dietary acid can help preserve bone and muscle, and slow kidney function decline. Please note: this webinar is not aimed at people on dialysis or who have been advised to follow a particular diet by their doctor or dietitian.
