In this article, Helena Jackson explains what hyperkalaemia is and why renal patients are at an increased risk of developing condition. She outlines the management hyperkalaemia, which usually involves a low potassium diet. As ubiquitous in diet, awareness sources diet can help restricting intake. Renal nurses need to be aware wider implications dietary restriction for patient potassium-lowering should regularly reviewed individualised optimise choice, palatability nutritional quality.
Background: Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) had been recommended by the Renal Association (Wright & Jones 2010) as an appropriate nutritional screening tool for detection of malnutrition in haemodialysis (HD) patients. However, it has criticised being time consuming (Kondrup et al. 2003) and lacking sensitivity (Kalantar-Zadeh al.1999). The Patient Generated (PG-SGA) requires patient to complete part tool; thus reducing amount dietitian spends completing it. A recent pilot project showed...
Malnutrition is common in patients with kidney disease, and can exacerbate the individual economic burden of condition. The identification malnutrition essential to inform management interventions improve patient outcomes, nutrition screening be considered first stage this process. development simple tools has assisted nurses undertaking widespread, rapid assessments patients’ risk. However, generic may not appropriate or accurate disease. This article explains some challenges identifying...
There is a growing interest in the connection between healthy eating, mental health (MH) and chronic disease prevention. Although people with kidney (CKD) are disproportionately affected by poor MH, nutritional guidelines have traditionally focused on non-mental factors, such as physical health, progression biochemical control. Dietary manipulation, through may influence gut microbiome, well health. This can be achieved interaction brain kidney, body's metabolism of nutrients, amino acid...
Malnutrition is a common and complex problem in renal patients. Assessment of nutritional status the means to diagnose disorders involving undernutrition overnutrition, should these occur, monitor effect any intervention. Nutritional assessment be incorporated routine care patients contributions made by all members multidisciplinary team.
Malnutrition is common in hospitalised patients, and studies indicate that 50% patients who are admitted to specialist renal wards may be malnourished. The detection of malnutrition challenging, particularly with disease. Nutrition screening a brief risk assessment provides the opportunity for early prompt treatment
