    Your doctor should provide you with dietary guidelines. 


    My mom and a cousin of mine are kidney dialysis patients. They have little/no kidney function.


     I know their diets are restricted as far as liquids (about 32 oz. per day), tomatoes, potatoes, nuts, potassium.  


    My cousin did have a kidney transplant about 20 years ago.  During the time the kidney functioned (about 15 years, which is an incredibly long life for a transplanted kidney), her diet did not seem to be restricted at all.
