Session description:
One of the main challenges kidney patients face is adherence to a restrictive renal diet and we also face a global shortage of renal dietitians to deliver the renal nutrition care required by patients with CKD. This session will discuss the challenges of global kidney nutrition care and how to bridge gaps in care, how to streamline renal nutrition care, how to improve health literacy of CKD patients and improve renal dietitian training with relevance for low resources settings. A specific review will also be given on the dietary prescription received by patients with CKD – should potassium intake be restricted?
Learning objectives:
To identify the challenges of kidney nutrition care and how to streamline care.
