Nyrami is knowledge, tools and a shared push for people living with kidney disease, and for those at risk of it.
We gather the knowledge, the tools and the people that make everyday life with kidney disease easier, and we work so that more people are found in time.
About NyramiThe kidney guide explains the disease, the test results and food, written for people living with it.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) means the kidneys have been damaged or have worked less well than normal for at least three months. Around ten per cent of adults have it, most of them mildly and without noticing anything. The disease does not go away, but treatment can slow it down, often for many years.
With kidney failure, the most important thing is to eat little salt and little ultra-processed food. Protein, potassium and phosphorus are adjusted to your stage and your blood tests, so the advice is not the same for everyone. Eggs, oats and most fruit can often be part of your diet. A clinical dietitian can make a plan for you.
The most potassium is found in dried fruit, brunost (Norwegian brown cheese), crisps, nuts, potatoes, avocado and banana. Apples, berries, rice, pasta and boiled vegetables are low in potassium. Boiling in plenty of water that you pour away can roughly halve the potassium. You only need to limit potassium if your blood tests or your doctor say so.
The Nyrami app is your everyday tool. Free on iPhone and Android, in Norwegian, English and Spanish.
More than 500,000 Norwegians have chronic kidney disease.
Most of them do not know. Two simple tests at the GP can find it. Sign so that more people get them in time.

Cristian Velasquez was diagnosed in 2003. He has lived with kidney disease for more than twenty years since, with many years of dialysis and two kidney transplants.
His sons, Marcus and Andreas, grew up with it at close hand. The family's experience has shaped Nyrami.

Nyrami is a Norwegian platform for people living with kidney disease, or at risk of it. It is made up of a free app with a food scanner, your values, recipes and training, the kidney guide with articles about the disease, an eGFR calculator and a pledge for finding kidney disease earlier.
No. Nyrami is free to download and use. Nyrami Pro is a voluntary subscription where the whole amount goes towards running and developing the app and towards the fight against kidney disease. As a thank-you you get the Ask Nyrami assistant. Everything else is free.
With two simple tests: creatinine in the blood, which gives an eGFR estimate, and albumin in the urine. Both are taken at your GP. Because kidney disease rarely causes symptoms before kidney function is greatly reduced, the tests are the only way to find the disease early.
No. Nyrami is a support tool, not a healthcare service. The app makes no diagnosis and gives no individual medical advice. It helps you understand your numbers and ask better questions at the clinic. Never change treatment based on the app alone.
You hold the camera to the barcode on a grocery product, and Nyrami reads what is in it: potassium, phosphorus, sodium and protein, assessed for your stage and your numbers. The answer comes in plain words: enjoy it, go a little carefully, or choose something else.
Norwegian, English and Spanish. The app follows the language on your phone, and you can switch whenever you like. The website nyrami.com is available in the same three languages.
Nyrami is made by Avia Technologies AS in Steinkjer, Norway. You can reach us at support@nyrami.com.
