Objective: Assess the effect of intensive nutrition education by trained dedicated dietitians on
osteodystrophy management among hemodialysis patients.
Methods: Randomized controlled trial in 12 hospital-based hemodialysis units equally distributed over
clusters 1 and 2. Cluster 1 patients were either assigned to usual care (n = 96) or to individualized
intensive staged-based nutrition education by a dedicated renal dietitian (n = 88). Cluster 2 patients
(n = 210) received nutrition education from general hospital dietitians, educating their patients at their
spare time from hospital duties. Main outcomes were: (1) dietary knowledge(%), (2) behavioral change,
(3) serum phosphorus (mmol/L), each measured at T0 (baseline), T1 (post 6 month intervention) and T2
(post 6 month follow up).
Results: Signicant improvement was found only among patients receiving intensive education from a
dedicated dietitian at T1; the change regressed at T2 without statistical signicance: knowledge (T0:
40.3; T1: 64; T2: 63) and serum phosphorus (T0: 1.79; T1: 1.65; T2: 1.70); behavioral stages changed
signicantly throughout the study (T0: Preparation, T1: Action, T2: Preparation).
Conclusion: The intensive protocol showed to be the most effective.
Practice implications: Integrating dedicated dietitians and stage-based education in hemodialysis units
may improve the nutritional management of patients in Lebanon and countries with similar health care
systems.

1. Introduction
Lack of adherence to dietary restrictions among hemodialysis
(HD) patients is common [1]; and globally, the prevalence of HD
patients is on the rise [2]. These patients often suffer from elevated
serum phosphorus (P); a leading cause of chronic kidney disease
mineral bone disorder (CKDMBD) and mortality [3]. The
management of this condition includes HD, dietary P restriction
to 8001000 mg/day, P density (P/protein) limited to 1012 mg/g/
day and P-binders [4,5]. Consequently, adherence to P-restricted
diet is the most difcult for HD patients [6].
Strong evidence support the use of behavioral change models to
facilitate dietary lifestyle changes [7]. The transtheoretical model
(TTM) or the stages of behavioral change model (referred to, in this

The need for more self-management skills and alternatives to forbidden foods, to have more freedom in choosing food items on a daily basis
Eating in group (with family or friends) makes it more difcult to comply with the restricted diet, when the others are eating forbidden foods
If the dietitian visited the HD unit daily, for sure I would comply more
Advice from health care professionals is not very realistic
Family bring forbidden foods to home, and make it available at all times. This makes it difcult to adhere to a restricted diet
Inability to buy or prepare foods for the uremic diet
Adherence becomes easier when symptoms appear
Bored of restrictions, want to live like everyone
Depression leading to indifference. No matter what I do, I will still be on HD, so why to comply?
HD, hemodialysis.

Insufcient time for the HD patients due to the overload by other duties in the hospital. Need for a full time dietitian in the HD unit.
Nurses and doctors should be educated about the diet
Able to visit the HD unit for a maximum of once a month
Need to simplify the diet by innovative techniques to help patients understand the important effect of diet on their clinical outcomes
Should involve family members in the dietary education
The dietitian should be the only health care professional responsible for the NE of HD patients
Need for more awareness in the community and among fellow health care professionals on the importance of diet and clinical outcomes among HD
patients
Difculty of cooking allowed food
Since depression is related to incompliance, depression needs to be tackled in the HD unit with a multidisciplinary team approach
Older age is a major barrier to dietary adherence
Need for food industry to develop renal food items available in supermarkets and restaurants (low K, low P, . . . )
