The document discusses nutrition care for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and those undergoing hemodialysis (HD). It outlines the stages of CKD based on glomerular filtration rate. The nutrition care process involves assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring. Key dietary recommendations for CKD and HD patients include restricting protein, sodium, and phosphorus while maintaining adequate energy, carbohydrates, and fat intake. Regular nutrition counseling and monitoring of nutritional status indicators are important for managing the disease and preventing complications.

8. What is the role of ?
 Trained & experienced in Renal nutrition
 Implementation of many guidelines concerning
nutritional assessment
Anthropometry, SGA, dietary interviews
 Plan for nutritional management & therapy
 Counseling the patient & the family
 Educational activities

9. Why there are for ?
All patients should receive nutritional counselling based
on an individualized plane of care.(Evidence Level C)
 Nutrition in peritoneal dialysis Guidelines 2005
 Nephrol DialTransplant (2005) 20 ( Suppl 9) : ix28-ix33
Clinicians use several strategies, but there are barriers to
nutritional counseling which include:-
 skepticism about the effectiveness of nutritional interventions
 lack of specific knowledge and training about therapeutic
nutrition
 lack of specialty clinics, absence of guidelines, and an
inadequate number of dietitians

10. screening
CKD
 We recommend that screening should be performed (1D)
o for inpatients
o for outpatients with eGFR <20 but not on dialysis
o of commencement of dialysis then 6-8 weeks
later
 Screening may need to occur more frequently if risk of
undernutrition is increased (for example by intercurrent illness)

11. screening
HD
 Stable and well-nourished haemodialysis patients should be
interviewed by a qualified dietitian every 6–12 months or
every 3 months if they are over 50 years of age or on
haemodialysis for more than 5 years (Evidence level III).
 Malnourished haemodialysis patients should undergo at
least a 24-h dietary recall more frequently until improved
(Opinion).
UK Renal Association, March 2010

12. CKD HD
 Clinical studies have shown that renal patients may
have inadequate dietary intakes during early stages
 40 - 70 % of patients with end-stage renal disease are
malnourished
 Protein–energy malnutrition should be avoided in
maintenance hemodialysis because of poor patient
outcome (Evidence III).
 Tow types of malnutrition I & II has been described
in CKD patients
(ESPEN 2008)

19. Is albumin can predicts mortality at
onset of dialysis?
Strong predictor of morbidity and mortality
(CANUSA study)
However,
Albumin is affected by non-nutritional
factors
 Infection
 Inflammation
 Co-morbidities
 Fluid overload
 Inadequate dialysis
 Blood loss
 Metabolic acidosis
Albumin may not increase in response to
nutritional intervention
There is No Single Magic Nutritional Index

20. How can we monitor and Follow-up
nutritional status?
Severely underweight Less than 16.0
Underweight From 16.0 to 18.5
Normal From 18.5 to 24.9
Overweight From 25 to 29.9
Obese Class I From 30 to 34.9
Obese Class II From 35 to 39.9
Obese Class III Over 40
Haemodialysis patients should maintain a BMI >23.0
BMI = Weight (kg) / (height [m]2)

21. Ideal Body Weight (IBW)
For men = [ (height(cm) – 152.4) x 0.91) ] + 50
For women= [ (height(cm) – 152.4) x 0.91) ] + 45.5
Adjusted Body Weight (ABW)
For men: Adjusted weight = [( actual weight- IB weight) x 0.38] + IB weight
For women: Adjusted wt = [(actual weight- IB weight) x 0.32 ] + IB weight
If Actual BW > 30% IBW

status
 Present in (Carbohydrates – Fats - Protein)
 Calculated based on your
 current weight,
 weight loss goals
 age and gender
 physical activity and metabolic stress
35 kcal/kg/d < 60 yrs
30–35 kcal/kg/d ≥ 60 yrs
Regular physical activity should be encouraged,and energy intake should be
increased according to the level of physical activity (Opinion).
Calories

30. To increase the energy content of meals:
 Add extra oil to rice, noodles, breads, crackers, and
cooked vegetables.
 Add extra salad dressing.
 Non-protein calorie (NPC) supplement can be added
(J Ren Nutr. Nov. 2012 )

31. Protein
 Essential for ❖ building muscles ❖ repairing tissue
❖ fighting infection ❖Keeping fluid balance in the blood
There are two kinds of proteins
◦ (HBV) or animal protein-meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy
◦ (LBV) or plant protein – breads, grains, vegetables, dried beans and peas
and fruits
50 -70% should be of HBV.
A well balanced diet for kidney patients should include
both kinds of proteins every day.
Protein Alternatives
protein bars, protein powders, supplement drinks

33. Potential beneficial effect of
low-protein diet in CKD
 Uremic symptoms diminish or disappear
 (especially nausea, vomiting)
 Reduce the burden of uremic toxins
 (urea, H+, K+, phosphate, other)
 Slow progression of renal failure ?
Reduce proteinuria
 Improve nutritional status
Increases insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance
Antioxidant effect
No Protein Restriction for Dialysis Patients10-12 grams lost per HD treatment

39. Sodium
 Plays vital role in regulation of fluid balance and blood
pressure
In CKD& HD:-
 May result in :-
high blood pressure,
fluid retention/swelling (edema)
 lead to shortness of breath
Excessive thirst
CHF
Serum Sodium (nl 133-145 mEq/L)

40. Sources of Dietary Sodium

41. Eat out less (especially Fast Food)
Cook at home with low-sodium ingredients
Read labels
1,000- 4,000mg/d
for
CKD&HD
patient
diets
Cut out: • Salt
• High-sodium condiments
• Processed, cured foods
Add: • Herbs
• Spices
• Lemon
• Vinegar
No Added Salt (NAS)

42. Fluids
“any food that is liquid at room temp”
Soup, gelatin, ice cream, ect.
HD
Urine Output + 1000 ml
Limit IDWG (2-5% Estimated Dry weight )
 Excess fluid buildup
Edema, HTN, CHF and
Breathlessness
Delays wound healing
 Fluid restriction estimations
are based upon:-
Urinary output
Disease state
Treatment modality (dialysis, etc.)

43. Tips for thirst and fluid control!
 Track your fluids
 Avoid chewing lots of ice
 Avoid refills at restaurant
 Avoid super-sized beverages
 Limit salty foods
 Small glasses at meals & meds
 Add lemon or Lime juice to water
 Hot weather, temperature
Keep your skin cool: cold wash cloth,
mist-bottle
Keep your lips moist with a chap stick
Keep your mouth wet
◦ Keep your mouth clean
 toothpaste for dry mouth (biotene)
◦ Rinse your mouth with cold water, but
don’t swallow it
◦ Rinse your mouth with chilled
mouthwash
◦ Chew on gum: Quench gum
◦ Try lemon wedges or freeze grapes &
strawberries
If diabetic, control blood sugars

44. Sodium & Fluids
 The requirement for sodium and water varies markedly,
and each patient must be managed individually.
 Individualize
◦ IDWG, blood pressure, residual renal functions
 Increased Restrictions if
 ↑ IDWG, CHF, edema, HTN
fluid output Na fluid
≥ 1 L 2-3 g 2 L
≤ 1 L 2 g 1-1.5 L
Anuria 2 g 1 L

45. Phosphorus
 High serum phosphorus
 Bone decalcification
 Soft tissue calcifications
 Hyperparathyroidism
 Dietary intake ~800 to 1000 mg/day OR <17 mg/kg SBW
HD removes ~500-1000 mg/treatment
Binders removes 50% of dietary phosphorus
Control = Binders + Diet + Adequate dialysis

46. Organic phosphorus
40 – 60% absorbed
Phytates ↓ absorption
Dairy products
Meat, poultry, fish
Soy (soy milk, tofu)
Nuts and seeds
Dried beans and peas
Whole grains
Inorganic phosphorus
> 90% absorbed
Food additives
Dietary supplements
Calcium fortification

Binders are like a sponge. They “soak up” phosphorus from food! in the GI tract
Must take with meals

49. Control Phosphorus
Dialysis
 Among dialysis patients with persistent Hyperphosphatemia, we
suggest increasing phosphate removal via hemodialysis (Grade 2C)
 Phosphate clearance is effective only during the first 2 hours of
dialysis. Serum phosphorus levels do not change during the second
half of dialysis. Haemodialysis removes approximately 900 mg of
phosphate three times weekly. (Mucsi et al., 1998; Block & Port,
2000)
 Among patient with refractory Hyperphosphatemia, nocturnal HD is
an option among those who are welling to accept this form of
dialysis.

51. Calcium
Renal diet is approximately 500-800 mg / day
Diet (low ----- many foods high in ca high in ph )
 1200 – 1500 mg/day based on DRI*
 May need vitamin D3
Not to exceed 2g/day, including calcium-
based binders
 Activated vitamin D
 PTH control important
CKD Stages 1 – 4
CKD Stage 5 & HD

52. CKD Stages 1 – 3 Usually not restricted
CKD Stages 4 and 5 and HD Correct labs
 Dietary Goal is usually 2 - 3 gms/day

 Low: 20-150 mg
 Medium: 150-250 mg
 High: 250-550 mg
Portion size is essential
 Avoid Salt Substitutes
 Dairy
 1 cup 380-400 mg
 High phosphorus foods

54.  Renal Multivitamin containing water soluble
vitamins
◦ Dialyzable – take after dialysis
◦ Supplementation may improve Iron availability from
stores
 Vitamin C in renal vitamin
◦ Limit total vitamin C 60-100 mg
↑ Vitamin C → ↑ oxalate → calcification of soft tissues
and kidney stones
 Individualize: Fe++, Vitamin D, Ca++, Zinc
Micronutrients

55. Assessment:
 Diet history & any changes in dietary
intake
 Weight history
 SGA
 Underlying medical condition
 Biochemistry
 GI symptoms
 Social and psychological

56. Conclusion
 Poor nutrition is common in CKD & DH patients and has
adverse risk factor
 Nutritional counseling –part of approach to CKD and
dialysis patients.
 Routine nutritional screening & assessment should be done
for CKD and dialysis patients.
 Qualified renal dietitian must be included in the staff of
every dialysis unit.
 Personalized nutritional plan – worked out for every
