Abstract:
Dialytic renal replacement therapy is now entering into its sixth decade in the United States. Despite major advances in dialysis technology, regimens and protocols, and pharmacological treatments, patients' restricted dietary intake remains the lynchpin to their well-being and success. Herein, we review current guidelines that limit dietary intake of nutrients and minerals in dialysis patients and explore potential ways to use them in designing a daily food intake that is not only healthy, but also easy to implement and therefore patient friendly. The main theme behind this review is attempting to emphasize that dietary restriction guidelines can be used in such a way that dialysis patients can eat things they really enjoy as long as they follow some relatively simple general rules.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
