Author Description

Healthy Eating for Chronic Kidney Disease was written to benefit both patients and registered dietitians or new renal dietitians. There are 264 pages of educational materials to teach the patient about kidney disease not yet on dialysis as well as patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. There are six weeks of menus for stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease50, 60, 70 grams protein with and without potassium restriction. For the dialysis patient, there are simple one-page handouts about Good Choices vs. Poor Choices. I have written diets for 70-, 80-, 90-, 100-, 110-gram protein both for diabetics and nondiabetics on dialysis. Included are many new recipes with nutrient analysis.
