Appetite poor? Consider renal drinks lactose and sugar free may aid in proper nutrition He should have 1.2 g/ kg protein of which 50 percent should be high biological or complete protein
There should be 30-35 cal per kg provided
Fluid needs are based on output
Hemodialysis needs may differ from peritoneal dialysis and on medications
Relace watersoluble vitamins folic acid vitamin B6 vitamin c and B12.
A proper consult needs to be obtained from a renal dietitian that should be working with the family on this complex diet. In fact ,if you are inUS it is the law that you receive consult & it is covered by pMedicare. I recommend Dietitian consult as this diet needs to be tailored to patient and then Dietitian will need to educate patient and family about diet. I have provided some information and a referral
If you have further issues please contact me directly with labs medications sugars
