Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease a non-communicable
disease is characterized by an irreversible damage to kidney function and a
reduction in glomural filtration rate where dialysis or even transplantation is
required for survival. Literature has proven that implementing proper Medical
Nutrition therapy basics while adapting a patient centered care approach can
improve general quality of life of the patient and probably delay the
progression of the disease. Due to the complexity of the disease and its
management, lack of proper local & regional Guidelines some dietitians
might lack confidence when treating patients and prefer to refer to a
well-trained clinical dietitian.
My presentation will highlight the
importance of Malnutrition Screening in CKD patients, and will summarize the
latest published guidelines and clinical practices in the above mentioned topic
