Green tea may offer some antioxidant benefits for people with chronic kidney disease, but excess intake should be avoided because it contains caffeine and potassium that can build up in the blood. For a renal diabetic diet, eat small portions of whole grains, low potassium vegetables, and moderate protein such as egg whites or lean chicken, while limiting salt and sugar and monitoring fluid intake. It is best to consult a dietitian to create a personalised diet chart that safely manages both blood sugar and kidney function.

I have stage 5D chronic kidney disease and am currently on dialysis. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can cure it?

There is no Ayurvedic treatment that can cure stage 5D chronic kidney disease, as it is a severe condition in which the kidneys have permanently lost their function. Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment that must be continued to replace kidney function. Some Ayurvedic herbs may interfere with medications or raise potassium levels, so always consult your doctor before using them.
