Healthy and balanced nutrition is vital for patients on dialysis due to kidney failure. The right choices in a dialysis patient\u2019s diet can both increase the effectiveness of treatment and help maintain a high quality of life. With its expert team, Renmed Dialysis Center<\/strong> helps dialysis patients become more aware of healthy eating.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Nutrition for Dialysis Patients<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Because the kidneys of dialysis patients do not function sufficiently, their intake of protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus and fluids<\/strong> must be balanced. With the right diet, you can prevent extra strain on your kidneys and maintain your body\u2019s electrolyte balance.<\/p>\n

Nutrition Tips for Dialysis Patients<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Watch Your Protein Intake<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dialysis patients should eat enough but controlled amounts of protein<\/strong>. Without enough protein, muscle loss and weakness can occur, but too much protein can put extra strain on the kidneys.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Recommended protein sources:\n
        \n
      • Grilled chicken and turkey<\/li>\n
      • Fish (preferably boiled or steamed)<\/li>\n
      • Egg whites<\/li>\n
      • Unsalted cheese and yogurt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        1. Limit Sodium (Salt)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Excessive sodium intake raises blood pressure and causes water retention. Salty foods should therefore be avoided and meals should be flavored with fresh herbs and spices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Foods to avoid:\n
              \n
            • Pickles and canned foods<\/li>\n
            • Fast food and processed foods<\/li>\n
            • Instant soups and sauces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              1. Watch Your Potassium Balance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Potassium can affect heart rhythm. Too much potassium can be dangerous for dialysis patients, so potassium-rich foods need to be limited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Potassium-rich foods (to avoid):\n
                    \n
                  • Bananas, oranges and dried fruit<\/li>\n
                  • Potatoes, spinach and tomatoes<\/li>\n
                  • Avocado and squash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                  • Low-potassium vegetables you can eat:\n
                      \n
                    • Cucumber<\/li>\n
                    • Cauliflower<\/li>\n
                    • Onions and peppers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                        \n
                      1. Restrict Phosphorus Intake<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Phosphorus is a critical mineral for kidney patients. If dialysis patients consume too much phosphorus, the risk of bone loss and hardening of the arteries increases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Foods to avoid:\n
                            \n
                          • Milk and dairy products<\/li>\n
                          • Dried legumes<\/li>\n
                          • Nuts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                          • Alternatives you can eat:\n
                              \n
                            • White bread<\/li>\n
                            • Butter<\/li>\n
                            • Egg whites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                                \n
                              1. Watch Your Fluid Intake<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                Dialysis patients should not drink too much fluid. Daily fluid intake should be determined under medical supervision.<\/strong> Excess fluid can cause edema and raise blood pressure.<\/p>\n
