Dialysis Meal Plan

A specialized eating plan for dialysis helps manage potassium levels, ensures enough protein intake, and avoids certain foods that may worsen their condition. It also provides more calories or extra calories when needed to maintain energy.

The plan identifies foods to limit, like those high in potassium, phosphate, or extra salt, and includes alternatives such as vegetables and other foods low in these elements. It helps patients maintain potassium levels while balancing fluid intake to prevent extra fluid retention.

The flexible plan can accommodate low vision or mobility issues by incorporating simple, easy-to-prepare foods. For patients on a special diet, it can also include specific guidelines provided by their dialysis center.
