Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Before my liver surgery, I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) for years. The recommend salt intake for CKD people in the US is 2g (2,000mg) or two test spoons. That sounds a lot but it is not much. If you eat one cup-a-noodle, your intake is about 1.5g (75% of your daily intake). One BigMac and small fries have about 1g of salt.

When I go to Japan, I Preallyhave to be very careful how much salt I take in especially I will be eating eating out a lot. The recommended salt intake for CKD people in Japan is 6g ... three times as much in Japan. In the US, people average take in 3.5g of salt a day compared to 11g in Japan. No wonder there are more CKD in Japan.
