Do I have to change what I eat?





Haemodialysis

Just as your medication and other treatment can alter over time, your diet may also need to be reviewed. Suggested changes to your diet are based on your blood test results. You could be asked to limit your salt, protein, phosphate, potassium or fluid intake but only if these are causing problems. More hours on dialysis usually means less diet restriction. Your diet will be designed with your special needs in mind.

Kidney failure can reduce your appetite. You may have difficulty eating enogh food to keep you healthy, and malnutition can become a  problem.
