Dialysis diet should restrict the intake of potassium, sodium, phosphorus and others. Moreover, the diet should be changed according to Renal Failure patients' weight, blood test results and other reasons.
Eat a variety of foods and try to avoid taking same foods for a long time.
Ask your dietitian about your diet plan.
Avoid salty food so as to reduce the intake of fluid.
Potassium level rises when dialysis is performed, so my suggestion is to stay away foods high in potassium.
High potassium foods include banana, kiwi, cooked celery, tomato sauce and others.
Take right amount of phosphorus. High phosphorus in your blood will pull calcium from bones resulting in the weak bones. Too much phosphorus will make your skin itching.
Foods high in phosphorus include milk, cheese, colas and nuts etc.
High-protein diet should be followed.
Patients with Renal Failure doctor or dietitian probably encourages you to eat as much as high quality protein. The reason is that protein helps you repair your tissues. It also delivers you a better immunity to fight against infection or other diseases.
Meat, fish, eggs are good sources of high-quality protein.
Don’t take too much sodium because it would make you thirsty. Sodium is often found in salt. Taking too much sodium in a long time would trigger heart failure and high blood pressure.
Foods contain less sodium are fresh vegetables while high sodium foods include dill pickle, mustard, soy sauce, ketchup and so on.
Do not take vitamin or minerals. Your doctor will prescribe you mineral supplement. You’d better not buy them by yourself because over-the-counter vitamin or minerals can be harmful.
So many things you should remember to cooperate with your doctor when performing your dialysis. It can be hard for you, but you should stick to dietary restrictions.
