Diet plays a critical yet often under-addressed role in the management of patients on dialysis. From fluid balance and electrolyte control to protein adequacy and micronutrient deficiencies, nutritional decisions directly impact morbidity, quality of life, and outcomes in this population.

This session, led by an experienced nutritionist, Dr Eileen Canday, is designed specifically for doctors to understand the WHY behind dietary recommendations in dialysis patients. It will cover practical aspects of meal planning, common dietary mistakes, interpreting nutrition-related lab values, and how clinicians can effectively counsel patients alongside the renal care team. The focus will be on translating nutrition science into actionable clinical guidance that supports safer, more holistic dialysis care.
