Will Being On Dialysis Improve Your Diet Or Make It Worst?

I have talked to several people who say their diet gets a lot worse while on dialysis. Some have said that they have cravings for certain foods.

What is your take on this? We would like to hear more from you. Diane (Team Member)

  1. Being on dialysis will generally make your diet more restrictive as you will need to significantly change what you eat. Our doctors tell us to get more protein while limiting potassium and phosphorus. Our diet will need to be carefully managed to accommodate your kidney disease. We need to do these necessary things to manage our health. What do you think?
