A nutrition specialist who designs individualized kidney diets - balancing potassium, phosphorus, sodium, protein, and fluid against lab values.
A renal dietitian translates lab values into an eating plan: potassium, phosphorus, and sodium budgets at each CKD stage, protein targets (0.6-0.8 g/kg pre-dialysis, 1.2 g/kg on dialysis), fluid limits, and phosphate-binder timing. They personalize the food database guidance for the individual - stage, serum potassium, phosphorus, diabetes, and food preferences. Studies link renal dietitian care to better mineral control, fewer emergency dialysis starts from hyperkalemia, and improved nutrition. Referral is standard once CKD stage 3 begins.
A progressive condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function over months or years, classified into 5 stages based on eGFR.
A medication that binds potassium in the gut to lower blood potassium — allowing patients with CKD to stay on protective ACEi/ARB therapy.
High potassium in the blood — a common and potentially dangerous complication of CKD, especially with ACEi/ARB therapy — causing heart rhythm disturbances at severe levels.
A physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, including hypertension, CKD, dialysis, and transplant medicine.
