Is Frozen Raw Fish Good For Those With Level 3 Kidney Disease?

David675 asked a question 💭
A myIgANcenter Subscriber

For IgAN patients with stage 3 kidney disease, raw fish (even frozen) isn't recommended due to:

1. Risk of foodborne illness - compromised kidneys are more vulnerable
2. Higher phosphorus content in raw fish
3. Potential bacterial contamination

Instead, thoroughly cook fish to make it safer while still getting omega-3 benefits. Always consult your nephrologist about specific dietary choices, as individual recommendations may vary based on your lab values and symptoms.

Yes, Farxiga can help protect kidney function. It's FDA-approved to reduce the risk of:

- Further worsening of kidney disease
- End-stage kidney disease
- Death from cardiovascular disease
- Hospitalization for heart failure

However, talk to your doctor to see if Farxiga is right for you, as it's not suitable for everyone with kidney disease. Common side effects include urinary tract infections and increased urination. Drink plenty of fluids while taking it to prevent dehydration.

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
