Description
Proper nutrition assessment, care, and monitoring are critical to improving the clinical outcomes of patients with kidney disease.  A Clinical Guide to Nutrition Care in Kidney Disease is the only course to explore the nutritional needs of patients at all stages and treatment modalities of kidney disease—from CKD in children and adults to patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis to kidney transplantation.

Much more a comprehensive guide than a set of assessment guidelines, this course also covers the following issues pertinent to today’s dietetics professionals:
• Kidney pathophysiology—basic structure, function, and types of kidney failure
• Dyslipidemia—classification, assessment, and treatments, including lipid-lowering agents
• Acute renal failure—etiology, metabolic  changes, and treatment, including CRR
• Parenteral nutrition – components, administration ,considerations for ARF and CKD patients,
• Intradialytic parenteral nutrition
• Anemia management – identification and management
• Nocturnal home hemodialysis—treatment outcomes and nutrition intervention
• Comorbidities such as diabetes and HIV/AIDS—recommended treatment options

As practice-based course, this provides health care professionals with the tools and tips they need to asses the nutritional status of patients and to monitor and manage long-term nutrition care.
