Health Disclaimer

KidneyMate provides general nutrition and educational information, food and fluid tracking, recipe organization, meal-planning tools and grocery tools.

KidneyMate does not provide individualized medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and is not a substitute for professional healthcare.

Nutrition needs for people with chronic kidney disease can vary significantly based on kidney function, CKD stage, laboratory results, medications, other health conditions, and individual treatment goals. Information that is appropriate for one person may not be appropriate for another.

Nutrition targets entered or selected in KidneyMate are chosen by the user. KidneyMate does not determine whether those targets are medically appropriate for you.

Default nutrition targets are starting values, not personalized prescriptions. Confirm appropriate nutrient and fluid targets with your healthcare professional.

Nutrition information may come from recipe sources, user input, imported information, or estimates. Actual values can vary depending on ingredients, brands, portion sizes, substitutions, and preparation methods.

Barcode products and external food databases may contain errors, missing values or information that does not match the food or portion you consumed. Source labels identify where information came from; they do not guarantee accuracy.

AI-assisted food recognition, meal photo analysis, nutrition-label and recipe extraction, and nutrient estimates can be inaccurate. Speech transcription and interpretation of food descriptions can also introduce errors. Review food identity, portions and nutrition values before saving or relying on them.

Potassium, phosphorus and other nutrient values may be missing or unknown. Unknown does not mean zero, and totals based on incomplete information may understate what you consumed. Estimates are not confirmed measurements.

Do not make significant changes to your prescribed diet, medication, supplements, fluid intake, or nutrient restrictions based solely on KidneyMate.

Always follow guidance from your physician, nephrologist, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional.

KidneyMate is not intended for emergency medical use. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance.

Your healthcare team's guidance should always take priority over information presented by KidneyMate.
