standard is suitable for patients who are receiving dialysis and condition is
stable. But it is not enough for people who present malnutrition before dialysis
and infection, heart disease, gastrointestinal tract diseases. Essential
amino-acid and other nutrient are also needed.
Calories Alternative Treatments for Kidney Failure Other Than Hemodialysis or Kidney Transplant

nutrients can be stored. People who are receiving dialysis and have stable
condition need 138.07—146.44 KJ per every kilogram weight.
Limit intake of cholesterol this is because people who are receiving dialysis
often accompanied with hyperlipidemia. But some foods which have high
cholesterol also have high protein such as meat and eggs etc. Patients can
choose egg white, which contain much protein and less cholesterol. Fish or
poultry are better than red meat or white meat. If There Are Any Side Effects of Hemodialysis
