Food insecurity is common in the United States: in 2022, 12.8% of U.S. households (1 in 8 households) experienced it, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Food insecurity creates unique challenges for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), making it difficult for them to follow a kidney-friendly eating plan. This guide provides healthcare professionals with tips to help their patients navigate these difficulties.
