Food Sources:

The dialysis diet controls the intake of fluid, protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. The amounts of these nutrients in the diet are based on your blood levels of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, albumin, and urea. These levels are measured before and immediately after a dialysis treatment.

Fluid restriction is based on the amount of urine output and weight gain between dialysis treatments.
