What foods should Dialysis Patients limit or avoid

You will need to follow a dialysis diet if you are receiving dialysis treatments. Your dietitian will help you plan a diet with the right amount of nutrients. Your diet may need to change over time based on your weight, blood test results, and other reasons. You may also need to make changes if you have other health problems, such as diabetes.
