What is the PKD diet?
PKD diet is an alkaline plant based diet gathered from among our mutual experiences specifically to enhance cystic kidney and liver health. Limit animal products to occasional broths, lamb, flat white fish, soft white cheese, egg yolk, keeping to 3 ounces per day or less. Protein is set individually to maintain a neutral protein balance at 0.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. Sodium or salt is limited to 1/8 teaspoon per day or 1200 mg of sodium. Most use Himalayan pink crystal salt and have experienced no change in blood pressure. Drinking enough water to raise the serum osmolality just above the urine shuts down vasopressin, similar to the experimental drug tolvaptan.

What is the difference between the kidney diet and the liver diet?
There are some variations in the foods, chemicals, and herbs that are useful and those that are to be avoided. These are outlined on the kidney diet page and in the liver diet page. The liver has some similar functions to the kidneys in that it converts the by products of metabolism to a watery substance so these end products can be excreted through the kidneys. Almost everything we take in goes first through the liver, then it is passed through to other organs of the body. A few of us have found that by taking special care of the liver, kidney health seems to follow.
By maintaining alkalinity, longevity seems to come easily.

Enjoy eating things that spring from the earth like fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries and grains. Abstain from animal foods or are derived from animals that move,
, walk, graze, swim or fly like birds, beef, milk, fish, eggs, or poultry.
