What is hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is one method used to filter

the blood. During hemodialysis treatment, a
patient's blood is redirected from an artery
to the hemodialysis machine.

HOW DO HEMODIALYSIS
DIET?

Dietary starting on
hemodialysis
Eat

more high protein food

Eat less high salt, higt potassium and
high phosphorus foods
Learn how much fluid you can safely
drink (including coffee,tea and water

FOSFOR
FOSFOR is a mineral that plays an important role in
maintaining the strength of bones.
- Dairy foods low in phosphorus:
- Butter and tub margarine
- Cream cheese
-Heavy cream
-Ricotta cheese
-Brie cheese
-Non-dairy whipped topping
-Sherbet

POTASSIUM

POTASSIUM is another mineral that must be

restricted in hemodialysis patients. Potassium is
important for nerve conduction and muscle
contraction. Blood levels of potassium can
become too high in patients with kidney
disease. High potassium is especially dangerous
because it can cause heart arrhythmias.
hemodialysis patients must limit dietary
potassium to less than 3,000mg/day. This
means limiting the amount of high-potassium
foods such as potatoes, tomatoes, melons,
oranges

FLUID AND SODIUM

Use less salt and eat fewer salty foods: this
may help to control blood pressure and
reduce weight gains between dialysis
sessions.

Use herbs, spices, and low-salt flavor

enhancers in place of salt.

Avoid salt substitutes made with

potassium.

PROTEIN
Protein is needed to build and repair tissues.
People on dialysis need to eat more protein.
Protein can help maintain blood protein
levels and improve health. Eat a high
protein food (meat, fish, poultry, fresh pork,
or eggs) at every meal, or about 8-10
ounces of high protein foods everyday.
