Diet on Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
Glasgow Kidney Unit
Warning
Your nutritional requirements will change when you start either haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Your dietary protein requirements will increase and if you were previously following some dietary restrictions, you may be able to relax these. It is important that you are assessed by a kidney dietitian soon after you start dialysis so you can receive dietary advice tailored to your individual needs.
