For Stage 5 CKD with IGAN, eggplant can be a good choice when prepared properly:

1. Double-cook method:
2. Cut and soak in water for 1 hour
3. Boil briefly, drain, then cook as desired
4. This reduces potassium content
5. Safe cooking methods:
6. Grilling with minimal oil
7. Roasting with herbs
8. Baking without added salt

Remember:
- Avoid adding salt
- Use fresh herbs for flavor
- Portion control is key
- Always check with your dietitian
