Managing your diet is a vital part of your treatment. Here are answers to the most common nutritional concerns for dialysis patients.
1. Why do I need to limit my fluid intake?
When kidneys aren’t working properly, fluid builds up in the body. This can cause swelling, high blood pressure, and strain on your heart. Your care team will give you a specific daily fluid goal based on your weight and urine output.2. What are "High Potassium" foods I should avoid?
High potassium can cause dangerous heart rhythms. You should limit or avoid:3. Why is phosphorus management important?
High phosphorus levels can pull calcium out of your bones, making them weak and brittle. Avoid processed foods, dark sodas, and dairy. You may also be prescribed phosphate binders to take with your meals.4. Should I eat more protein?
Yes. While pre-dialysis patients often limit protein, those on dialysis actually need high-quality protein (like lean meats, poultry, fish, and egg whites) because the dialysis process removes protein from the blood.5. How can I reduce salt (sodium) without losing flavour?
Salt makes you thirsty and causes fluid retention. Instead of salt, use fresh herbs, lemon juice, vinegar, or salt-free spice blends. Avoid salt substitutes, as they often contain high levels of potassium.6. Can I still eat out at restaurants?
Absolutely. The key is planning. Ask for sauces on the side, choose grilled over fried items, and request no added salt. Our renal dietitian can provide a "Dining Out Guide" to help you make the best choices.
