This diet controls the amount of fluid, protein, sodium, and potassium. The controlled amounts of each of these nutrients are based on the person's blood levels of potassium, sodium, and urea, as well as the fluid balance, creatinine clearance, and blood pressure. If the blood levels indicate the need to adjust the intake of calcium and phosphorus, then the amounts allowed in the diet are changed.
