How to Eat While On Dialysis

I give it a 2 .. for bad advice.

The protein limits are out of date for someone on dialysis.   The National Kidney Foundation says it is 1.2 grams of protein for every kg of body weight per day.

I'm 77 kg, so the correct amount of protein for someone my weight is 92 grams of protein a day!  1kg = 2.2 lbs.

And there's nothing about phosphorus, probably the most difficult part of the diet to control.

This is why one needs to be cautious when using the internet to find information.  Always double (and triple) check the facts.

Way, way out of date.  A person on dialysis needs more protein not less.  This is for someone who is beginning to face the prospect  of doing dialysis.  Even then, the only good thing it says is to consult professionals!  I give it a 2.

I give it a 1.

Because of the protein thing and that it is way too general in its ideas.  These generalizations may have been good 20 years ago but to still use them today with what is known about the big D is plain wrong.
