First-of-Its-Kind Renal Recipe
and Guidebook
Dialysis patients have
specific diet guidelines that differ from any other group of people and their nutritional needs differ significantly. Changing what they eat and drink may be hard at first but following a dialysis-friendly diet is crucial for their rehabilitation.
It is with this in mind that the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) produced the first-of-its-kind recipe and guidebook suitable for pre-dialysis and dialysis patients who undergo different treatment modes with different dietary needs.
Your Renal Guidebook to Healthy Cooking, a comprehensive, easy-to-read recipe and guidebook provides useful information about chronic kidney disease and tips for dialysis patients to manage their diet whether they are on haemodialysis or homebased peritoneal dialysis. The guidebook will enable patients to gain control of their lives by helping them understand their nutritional needs and for everyone to enjoy healthy, tasty and easy-to-prepare meals.
