EVX Restricted: Low Phosphorus
An EVX restricted diet low in phosphorus is a type of eating plan that is recommended for individuals with kidney disease or other conditions that affect the kidneys' ability to filter waste products from the blood. Phosphorus is a mineral that is found in many foods, and when the kidneys are not functioning properly, high levels of phosphorus can accumulate in the body, leading to complications such as bone disease and cardiovascular disease.
Foods that are typically low in phosphorus and may be included in an EVX restricted diet for low phosphorus may include:
Foods that are typically high in phosphorus and should be limited or avoided in an EVX restricted diet for low phosphorus may include:
It is important to note that an EVX restricted diet low in phosphorus may also be low in calcium, which can lead to bone disease if not properly managed. Therefore, individuals following this type of diet may need to take calcium supplements or consume calcium-rich foods such as leafy greens and fortified foods.
Overall, an EVX restricted diet low in phosphorus can help to manage complications associated with kidney disease and other conditions that affect kidney function. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before starting this type of diet to ensure that it is appropriate for your specific needs and health status, and to receive guidance on nutrient supplementation or management.
