Chronic renal failure (CRF) usually produces symptoms when renal function — which is measured as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) — falls below 30 milliliters per minute (< 30 ml/min). This is approximately 30% of the normal value of where the kidneys should be operating.
Diagnosis CRF is diagnosed by the observation of a combination of symptoms and elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and S.creatinine (Cr) levels.
Dietary guidelines should have a balance of fluids and electrolyte and adjusting the diet to prevent accumulation of toxic waste product to the minimum possible level. Chronic renal failure nutritional needs are as follows:
The food should be high in calories and low in protein.
Avoid canned, baked, processed and preserved foods.
Salted cheese, butter and nuts should be avoided
To reduce potassium content, vegetables should be cooked with more water and excess should be drained off.
Avoid fruits, fruit juices, and coconut water.
If potassium is restricted avoid tea, coffee, bajra, maize, ragi, wheat flour, pulses and legumes, chocolates, vegetables, fruits, sauces, jam, jellies.

Lifelong diligence is important in keeping blood sugar and blood pressure within normal limits. Specific treatments are dependent upon the underlying diseases.
Once kidney failure is present, the goal is to prevent further deterioration of renal function.
