KidneyDiet App for iPhone Helps People With Chronic Kidney Disease or End Stage Renal Disease With Diet Choices

KidneyDiet Exhibits Nutrient Counts of Foods

BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - November 16, 2010) -  Pain Free Living, Inc. announces the release of KidneyDiet, a healthcare application for the iPhone designed for people with kidney disease following a renal diet whether they are on dialysis or have not yet begun dialysis. KidneyDiet addresses renal dietary concerns by providing the vital nutrient counts all kidney patients and their healthcare providers monitor: potassium, phosphorus, protein, and sodium.

KidneyDiet presents an array of food and meal choices in an intuitive, scrolling alphabetical list. Each food item can be expanded to view portion sizes and relative nutrient counts. Because renal diets focus on reducing consumption of foods with too high a concentration of certain nutrients, KidneyDiet further highlights, in red, those above the recommended allowance of potassium, phosphorus, or sodium per serving. Following the proper diet can prolong the functioning kidney as well as help to make dialysis easier. KidneyDiet is a tool that helps make this possible for patients.

"As a health and nutritional reference, KidneyDiet provides an excellent portable guide option specifically designed for kidney disease patients," states Jennifer Beam, on AppCraver, www.appcraver.com/kidneydiet, a blog devoted to iPhone App News and Reviews. For the first time, those following a renal diet have a simple, convenient and accurate app -- available at any time -- to help them make informed choices. While every renal patient is different, this valuable reference tool provides a good baseline for identifying foods that align well with the patient's prescribed diet.

I was wondering if anyone has used this kidneydiet app - and, if so, would you recommend it?

[Joe]

Karol, I used that one all the time to check for Phos and Potassium values of the foods I was eating. I found it very helpful, even though there were some foods that were not listed. In the overall, I would recommend it as a reference.
