2. Nutrition In Renal Disease Is Complicated
• The term “Renal disease”
embraces a number of clinical
conditions whose common
feature is decrease in GFR.
• Another common feature that
these conditions share is
malnutrition but each condition
has a different approach in terms
of nutritional therapy.
3. Definition of Chronic Kidney Disease
• Chronic Kidney Disease is defined
as kidney damage for ≥ 3 months as
defined by structural or functional
abnormalities of the kidney, with or
without decreased GFR.
• GFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73m2 with or
without kidney damage.
• There are 5 stages of CKD
depending upon GFR (≥90, 60-89,
59-30, 29-15, <15) ml/minute.
4. Why Do We Need To Modify Diets?
• As kidney disease progresses, the capacity
to respond to changes in intake of nutrients
and water becomes less flexible.
• Solute and water excretion per nephron
increases, but the fewer number of functional
nephrons leads to a more restricted range of
solute and water excretion.
• When diet exceeds daily protein
requirement, the excess protein is degraded
to urea and other nitrogenous wastes and
these products accumulate in the body.
• Because the severity of uremic syndrome is
proportional to the accumulation of these
waste products and ions, therefore, dietary
intake needs to be adjusted.
5. Why Modify Diets? Cont..
• In kidney failure nutritional therapy allows good control
of several consequences of the disease.
Nausea /Vomiting Anorexia Initiation of dialysis
7. Males, solid lines; Females, dashed lines
The MDRD Study: Association Between Dietary Intake And
GFR and Serum Albumin and GFR
With GFR< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 dietary protein and energy
intake decreases and serum also albumin decreases
(presence of inflammation).
8. When Does Protein-Energy-Wasting Set In?
contd…..
• PEW most likely occurs during
CKD stage 3 or even earlier
partially due to inadequate
nutritional management in
predialysis phase and becomes
clinically evident when
GFR is < 15-10 ml/min.
• 20-70% patients on
Maintenance Dialysis show signs
of PEW.

10. Markers of Protein-Energy Malnutrition
(Predictors of Morbidity And Mortality in CKD)
Progressive weight loss
BMI <22 kg m2 >60 years
Wasting of fat and skeletal
muscle tissues
reduced muscle mass 5% in 3 m
Reduction in serum protein Serum
albumin level <3.8 g/dL
Serum pre-albumin level <30 mg/dL
Serum cholesterol level <100 mg/dL
Low dietary protein intake <0.6 g/kg/d
or <0.8 g/kg/d on MHD and energy
intake <25kcal /kg/d for at least 2
months
12. 1. Uraemic syndrome is associated with loss of appetite and a
variety of gastrointestinal adverse effects, which results in
reduced nutritional intake.

Low-protein diet (LPD) + Fluid Management
Low-protein diet (LPD) is a conservative treatment in
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to
improve uremic symptoms and slow progression of
renal dysfunction.
(Brenner BM, Meyer TW, Hostetter TH N Engl J Med 307:652–659,
1982.)

Fluid intake:
Water taken with meals, medications or otherwise
Tea, Coffee
Milk
Curd
And any other liquid
Fluid Prescription:
Previous 24 hour urine output + 500 ml if patient is dry
• If patient is edematous: 24 hour urine output + 300 ml

44. Increasing Protein Intake in Dialysis: The Phosphate
Paradigm
Mortality decreases when protein intake increases up to 1.4 g/kg/day (lower panel) despite a
slight increase in serum phosphate (Shinaberger JH et al.,1982). nPNA, appearance.
Protein has
linear relation
with phosphate
1 g protein
brings 13–15 mg
phosphate
(of which 30–70% is
absorbed through
the intestinal
lumen).
45. Increasing Protein Intake in Dialysis: The
Phosphate Paradigm
• Mean peritoneal phosphate clearance (L/wk/1.73 m2 BSA) according to peritoneal membrane
transport category and peritoneal dialysis modality. CAPD, continuous ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis; CCPD, continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis; H, high transport category; HA, high-
average transport category, LA & L: combined low-average and low transport category.
1-day peritoneal dialysis clears ~300 mg phosphate.
• 1 regular hemodialysis session clears 500–600 mg phosphate
• This results in a net balance of 1800 mg every other day in HD
pateints, an amount that cannot be eliminated through dialysis
• Phosphate binders are a must for such a patient.
46. Patients on Maintenance Dialysis Require Extra Protein
Supplement Insufficient Protein Intake
• Renal Specific Protein Supplements in powder or biscuit form.
• Peptide based supplements for sick patients.
The Renilon Multicentre Trial: Use of a renal-
specific oral supplement by HD patients who
have low protein intake does not increase
need for phosphate binders and prevents
decline in nutritional status and quality of
life.
Serum albumin and prealbumin changes
associate positively with the increment in protein
intake (The Renilon Multicentre Trial Fouque D etal NDT. 2008
Sep;23(9):2902-10)
47. Serum albumin (SA) levels before, during, and after the nutrition supplement
in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
Daily Supplement: 20 – 30 g protein and approx 500 calories
Significant improvement in albumin level during months 4 – 6 in HD patients but
not in PD Patients.
It takes 3months of supplementaion to show improvement in S albumin
In PD patients s albumin levels declined after supplementation was
stopped
Nutrition Supplements in Dialysis Patients: Use in Peritoneal Dialysis
Patients and Diabetic Patients R Poole Adv Peritoneal Dial, Vol. 24, 2008
48. • If oral supplements are not tolerated
or effective and malnutrition is
present (<20 Kcal/kg/d and Protein
intake is <0.8 kg/g/d) consider tube
feeding to increase protein intake.
• Overnight supplement can improve
nutritional status and overall well-
being.
• Bolus feeding: Start 50-100 ml feed,
then increase to 300-400ml per
feeding.
• Continuous feeding: Start with 20-
50ml/hr, then increase 20ml every
2-8 hrs until requirement is met.

• Monitor serum potassium in
patients on renin angiotensin
aldosterone system (RAAS)
antagonists.
• Limit dietary potassium intake.
55. Slow Progression of CKD

• Use L-Carnitine in EPO resistant anemia.
70. 1. Correct uremia and metabolic acidosis
to prevent protein catabolism.
2. Monitor closely nutritional status and
