For dialysis patients with IGAN, frozen yogurt can be enjoyed in moderation, but there are important considerations:

Watch portion size (1/2 cup max)
Choose low-potassium fruit toppings
Skip high-phosphorus toppings like nuts
Consider sugar-free options if you have diabetes
Check with your dietitian about specific phosphorus/potassium limits
Pro tip: Write down what you eat and when so you can track how treats fit into your daily allowances. Many dialysis clinics provide food tracking apps!

Remember: Your fluid restrictions include frozen treats, so factor this into your daily fluid allowance. 🍦

I have stage 3a kidney disease. I respect the Mayo Clinic website for the best information. I looked up creatinine and depending what the blood test shows, it refers more to the kidney function and how well the kidneys are filtering blood. Just google Mayo Clinic and write your questions and you’ll see lots of reputable information. Best of luck.
