You can also buy a renal cookbook.  They are really informative, and can teach you how to get the proper nutrition for a person with kidney disease.  I learned a lot from mine. I got one from Amazon.com. Good Luck!

Go to www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp You can download software from there that allows you to type in the food you are interested in and a nutritional window will pop up with extensive caloric and mineral statistics. You can also google "renal diet" and there are many links to high potassium and phosphorus foods
