Patients undergoing dialysis treatment need to pay special attention to their eating habits to maintain a healthy life. Dialysis removes waste from the body but also may deplete some important nutrients. Therefore, dialysis patients need to be mindful of specific foods and follow a balanced diet.
Dialysis patients should focus on their intake of protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Adequate protein intake is important to prevent muscle loss, but excessive phosphorus and potassium can be dangerous. Additionally, fluid intake should be limited as fluid retention can complicate the treatment process.
The right diet can vary for each patient. Therefore, dialysis patients should plan their diets carefully with their doctors and dietitians.
