|
countinuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
|
|
Patients treated with peritoneal dialysis have higher dietary protein needs than those treated with hemodialysis because
|
albumin is lost into the dialysate
|
|
Patients treated with peritoneal dialysis have higher dietary protein needs than those treated with hemodialysis because
|
dextrose is absorbed from the dialysate
|
|
For patient with renal failure, the best source of protein are
|
high-quality proteins
|
|
For patients with acute renal failure who do not need dialysis, protein intake should be about
|
0.6 to 1.0 g/kg body weight
|
|

|
the amount of output plus 500 mL
|
|
A gradual, irreversible loss of kidney function is called
|
chronic renal failure
|
|
Before development of end-stage renal disease, nutrtion therapy for patients with crhonic renal failure focuses on
|
limiting foods that produce toxic metabolic by-products
|
|

|
provides flexible meal planning tools for patients with chronic renal failure
|
|
The duration and frequency of hemodialysis for patients with chronic renal failure is usually
|
3-4 hours, three times per week
|
|
Milk intake is restricted in patients who are receiving hemodialysis because it is high in
|

|
|
The overall function of the kidneys is to
|
maintain chemical hmoeostasis in the body
|
|
The individual units that carry out the work if the kidneys car called
|
nephrons

|
Nephrotic syndrome causes loss of excessive amounts of
|
protein
|
|
To control hypertension and edema, patients with nephrotic syndrome should restrict thier intake of
|
sodium
|
|
"Hidden" sources of sodium include
|
softened water
|
|
For patients with acute renal failure, sudden weight gains are usually caused by
|
fluid retention
|
|
Retention of excussive amounts of waste products of protein metabolism in the blood is known as
|
azotemia
|
|
Hypogonadism may contribute to malnutrtion and wasting because of
|
fatigue and inability to prepare food

|
|
Strategies that may help maximize food intake in patients with HIV/AIDS include
|
eating several small meals and snacks daily
