Renal Dietitian

A renal dietitian is a specialized nutrition expert who focuses on the dietary needs of individuals with kidney-related conditions, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those on dialysis. They help patients manage their health through personalized meal plans that limit certain nutrients, like sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, while ensuring proper protein intake. By providing guidance on food choices and portion sizes, renal dietitians aim to improve patients' overall health, support kidney function, and enhance their quality of life while reducing symptoms and complications related to kidney disease.
