Renal Dietitians
When living with chronic kidney disease, managing what you eat and drink can be a challenge; however, your diet can also positively influence how you feel, and what other treatments you might need.
It is important to recognise that as kidney disease progresses your dietary needs will more than likely change. It is also important to recognise that every person with kidney disease is different and has different food preferences and dietary needs.
An Accredited Practising Dietitian experienced in kidney disease is the best person to speak to about what food and drinks are best for you. The Dietitian will assess what you are currently eating and advise if changes are needed.
Although most GP's or kidney specialist should refer you to a dietian whith moderate kidney dysfuntion, due to varies issues its not always easy to see a renal dietian.The below table has some names of private renal dietians. All dietitians are able to offer virtual or telehealth consultations if you live outside of the regions detailed below:
