If you already have kidney problems there are certain foods which are beneficial especially for hemodialysis treatment. Hemodialysis and a proper diet help reduce the wastes that build up in your blood.
 

When choosing foods, you should remember to:
 
 * Eat balanced amounts of foods high in protein such as chicken or meat. Animal protein is used more efficiently by your body than the protein found in grains or vegetables.

* Watch the amount of potassium you eat. Potassium is a mineral found in salt substitutes, some fruits, vegetables, milk, chocolate, and nuts. Too much or too little potassium
can be harmful to your heart.

* Limit how much you drink. Fluids build up quickly in your body when your kidneys aren't working. Too much fluid makes your tissues swell. Avoid salt. Salty foods make you thirsty and cause your body to hold water.

* Limit foods such as milk, cheese, nuts, dried beans, and soft drinks. These foods contain the mineral phosphorus. Too much phosphorus in your blood causes calcium to be pulled from your bones. Calcium helps keep bones strong and healthy.

 
Wheatgrass
 

Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways. It cleanses the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 1kg (2.2 pounds) of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. Many of the benefits of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it's a living food, which is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll. 
 
Wheatgrass is the green, growing and processing plant that will eventually become a shaft of wheat, produce grain, die, and be harvested. It is a completely different animal when it is still in the grass stage. At only seven days, the wheatgrass is 6 to 9 inches tall and can be cut and juiced. The deep green juice is abundant with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and vital life energy. It is intensely concentrated and benefits are seen with as little as one ounce a day.
 

Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available. Its said that Chlorophyll increases function of the liver, kidneys, heart, affects the vascular system, the uterus, the intestine and the lungs. Wheat grass juice helps to purify the blood.
