A renal dietitian translates your monthly blood results into what to actually put on your plate.
What to know
- Bring a three-day food and fluid diary that reflects how you really eat.
- Bring your latest potassium, phosphate, albumin and haemoglobin results.
- Ask for substitutions for foods you like, not just a list of prohibitions.
- Review at least every three months, and after any prescription change.
Talk to your care team
