                                According to the National Kidney Foundation, most kidney transplant recipients need to limit salt and follow specific food safety guidelines to protect their new kidney and overall health. While a standard fast-food burger is generally not recommended due to high sodium, saturated fat, and risk of foodborne illness, patients can safely enjoy a burger by carefully preparing a homemade version or making informed choices when dining out.
