Nutritional screening is a preassessment method of nutritional status to identify patients at risk of malnutrition and, in turn, to indicate nutritional assessment for those with increased nutritional risk and/or probable malnutrition.
Renal dietitians encourage most people on hemodialysis to eat high-quality protein because it produces less waste for removal during dialysis. High-quality protein comes from meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. Sodium is a part of salt. Sodium is found in many canned, packaged, frozen, and fast foods.
Your weight and blood pressure are monitored very closely before, during and after your treatment. About once a month, youll receive these tests: Blood tests to measure urea reduction ratio (URR) and total urea clearance (Kt/V) to see how well your hemodialysis is removing waste from your body.
Pre-Dialysis Preparation: Review the patients medical history, including current medications, allergies, and previous dialysis sessions. Conduct a thorough physical examination to assess the patients overall health status and vascular access site (fistula, graft, or catheter).
Guidelines for doctors about when to start dialysis include kidney failure symptoms, problems controlling blood pressure, problems controlling fluid, and problems with nutrition. The guidelines suggest that if you are not having these problems, you can wait to have dialysis until your eGFR is 6 mL/min.
