Study Notes
Nephrotic Syndrome and Nutrition Therapy
- A client understands nutrition therapy instructions for nephrotic syndrome when they limit their sodium intake by not using salt in cooking or at the table and avoiding foods high in sodium.
Decreasing Risk of CKD
- A healthy client with a family history of CKD can decrease their risk by eating a heart-healthy eating pattern, as CVD and CKD share the same lifestyle risks.
Potassium Restriction
- For a client with potassium restriction, recommended fruits and vegetables with low potassium content include apple, blueberries, and green beans.
Preventing Kidney Stones
- Effective instructions for preventing future kidney stones involve maintaining a healthy body weight, not avoiding milk, cheese, and other sources of calcium.
Protein Recommendations for CKD
- Protein recommendations for adults with CKD without diabetes differ from those with diabetes, with more restricted protein intake for those with diabetes.
Hemodialysis and Fluid Intake
- For a client on hemodialysis, popsicles can be used to help relieve thirst, but the equivalent amount of fluid should be deducted from their total daily fluid allowance.
Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern and CKD
- Characteristics of a Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern beneficial to clients with CKD include:
- Low in red and processed meats, limiting saturated fat, sodium, and phosphate intake
- Moderate intake of wine, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Post-Kidney Transplant Diet
- A client may not need to follow a diet after recovering from a kidney transplant, but this depends on individual circumstances.
Nephrotic Syndrome and Nutrition Therapy
- Nephrotic syndrome can be caused by conditions such as lupus.
- Correct understanding of nutrition therapy for nephrotic syndrome involves limiting sodium intake by avoiding salt in cooking and at the table, andexcluding foods high in sodium, such as processed foods, fast foods, and convenience foods.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Prevention
- A healthy client with a family history of CKD can decrease their risk of developing kidney disease by following a heart-healthy eating pattern, as CVD and CKD share the same lifestyle risks.
Potassium Restriction
- When restricting potassium, recommended fruits and vegetables with low potassium content include apple, blueberries, and green beans.
Preventing Kidney Stones
- To prevent future kidney stones, it is essential to maintain a healthy body weight and not follow a high-protein diet.
Protein Recommendations for CKD
- Protein recommendations for adults with CKD differ depending on whether they have diabetes; protein is more restricted for people with diabetes.
Hemodialysis and Fluid Management
- Clients on hemodialysis can use popsicles to help relieve thirst, but they must deduct the equivalent amount of fluid from their total daily fluid allowance.
Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern for CKD
- Characteristics of a Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern that may be beneficial to clients with CKD include:
- Low in red and processed meats, which limits saturated fat, sodium, and phosphate intake
- Includes a moderate intake of wine, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Nutrition Therapy for AKI
- Goal: provide adequate calories, protein, and nutrients to prevent/minimize malnutrition
- Routes of nutrition therapy: oral, enteral, or parenteral nutrition
