Hi
Thanks for the query.
In chronic kidney disease, especially if it is associated with protein in the urine, it is advisable to restrict the dietary protein intake. This has been shown to delay the progression of the disease.
The amount and type of protein to be consumed can be calculated based on your ideal body weight and dietary habits.
So you should see a dietician and get a detailed diet chart.
Hope this helps
Good luck
