Shake Your Salt Habit!

Renal Dietitian Fiona Hunter explains how much salt is too much salt, and offers practical tips on how to reduce your intake while also ensuring your food packs a flavoursome punch!

Evidence shows that limiting your salt intake can reduce your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, and may even slow disease progression in polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

PKD is a genetic condition where multiple cysts form and grow on various organs in the body, but mainly the kidneys. Affecting over 12 million people around the world and up to 70,000 adults and children in the UK, PKD is the most common genetic kidney disease and the fourth leading cause of kidney failure.

It can also affect the heart, liver and brain. There is currently no cure.


PKD Charity is the first and only UK charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by PKD. Since 2000 we’ve been helping individuals and families to live life as fully as possible by providing the best year-round support, tools and inspiration.

We campaign to improve services, promote understanding, and fund research into discovering better treatments, new treatments, and a cure for PKD.
