Nutrition is an absolutely essential aspect of the well-being of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.
Your kidneys are no longer able to properly eliminate certain substances contained in food, particularly potassium, phosphorus, and water itself. Excessive accumulation of these substances between dialysis treatments should be avoided, as this could put your life at risk.
In these circumstances, it is naturally advisable to exercise caution when consuming foods rich in these substances, which is made difficult by the lack of knowledge about their nutritional composition. Therefore, in order to assist with this task, Davita clinics have the support of a nutritionist, who will provide you with all the information you need about personalized hemodialysis nutrition, taking into account your needs and eating habits, and who will monitor you regularly through individual consultations, during which your test results will be discussed and any questions you may have will be answered in order to improve your nutritional status.
