No, COVID is a respiratory disorder,. It does not affect renal function.

Based on my research, here are the key foods to avoid when you have one kidney and IgAN:

High-sodium foods like:
Processed meats (pepperoni, ham, sausages)
Canned soups
Fast food
Salty snacks

High-potassium foods like:

Potatoes and french fries

Dried fruits (especially prunes)

Bananas

Most beans

Avocados

High-phosphorus foods like:

Ice cream and dairy products

Most nuts

Egg yolks (whites are okay)

Instead, focus on kidney-friendly foods like:
- Cauliflower
- Carrots
- Eggplant
- Egg whites
- White rice
- Fresh lean fish

Always check with your doctor about specific restrictions based on your kidney function.

make sure no other addative is in the dough( some vendors wants to make it tastful) , Sourdough is good! Or try Ciabatta....French bread! they are natural ! Read the ingredient before purchase! Protect your Kidney!

Based on my research, here's what you need to know about sourdough bread and CKD in IgA Nephropathy:

Sourdough bread can be a better choice than regular bread for CKD patients because:
1. The fermentation process reduces phosphorus content
2. It has a lower glycemic index
3. The probiotics may help gut health

However, watch your portions and sodium content. Choose whole grain sourdough when possible, and always check with your doctor about specific serving sizes that work for your condition.

eating eggs in moderation is fine for IgAN patients, but you'll want to limit consumption of the yolks since they're high in phosphorus. For the turkey sausage, you'll need to check the sodium content since processed meats tend to be high in sodium. If possible, opt for low-sodium varieties. Overall, this breakfast can work if you:

Use mostly egg whites
Choose low-sodium turkey sausage
Watch portion sizes
Balance with other kidney-friendly foods throughout the day
Consider adding kidney-friendly fruits like berries or pineapple to round out the meal. Always check with your doctor about specific dietary restrictions based on your condition's stage.

Chicken/turkey/ Boarshead lunch meat w/low or no salt. Potassium/phosphrus/salt keep low. For blood work

For someone with IgA Nephropathy, white bread is generally the better choice. White bread is lower in phosphorus and potassium compared to whole wheat bread. While whole wheat normally offers more nutritional benefits, people with IGAN often need to limit phosphorus and potassium intake to protect their kidneys. Just remember to watch portion sizes and choose low-sodium options.

thats malpractice

I have stage 3a kidney disease and have one cup of coffee every morning. I have not heard of this hurting the kidneys.

Yes, a plant-based diet can be beneficial for IgAN patients with CKD. Here's why:

Lower protein load on kidneys
Better blood pressure control
Reduced inflammation
Lower phosphorus levels
Rich in fiber and antioxidants
Just remember to:
- Watch potassium levels in some plant foods
- Ensure adequate protein intake
- Consult your nephrologist before major diet changes
- Consider B12 supplementation

Talk to your doctor about customizing a plant-based approach that's right for your specific kidney function and needs.
