Manage episode 406214688 series 3529452
Does the topic of nephrology and kidney function give you PTSD? For most of us in primary care, nephrology probably wasn’t your strong point in school. And even now in practice, if we’re being honest, we cringe if a patient asks us about a renal diet. What is a renal diet anyway? Is it the same as a kidney diet or a dialysis diet? Don’t worry friend, because today, I am joined by Renal Dietitian, Samantha Podob to break down the kidney diet and what role potassium, sodium and phosphorus have on kidney health.
Episode Highlights:
- Defining a Renal Diet: Understand exactly what nutrients are the focus of a renal diet and why the patient’s kidney function dictates what needs to be restricted or not.
- The role of Dialysis: Learn how a patient’s dietary needs may change depending on their treatment.
- Dispelling Myths: Learn the truth behind common misconceptions about foods like potatoes, citrus fruits, and tomatoes in renal diets.
- Practical Nutrition Tips: Discover actionable strategies for patients, including managing sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake.
- The Power of Plant-Based Diets: Explore the benefits of incorporating plant-based foods into renal diets and how it can support kidney health.
- Preventive Measures: Gain valuable insights into protecting kidney health through hydration, balanced diets, and lifestyle choices.
