The National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) has provided evidence-based guidelines for nutrition in kidney diseases since 1999. The 2020 update to the KDOQI provides comprehensive up-to-date information on the understand and care of patients with CKD and primarily focus on six primary areas: nutritional assessment, medical nutrition therapy (MNT), dietary protein and energy intake, nutritional supplementation, micronutrients, and electrolytes.1
On Thursday, September 14, 2023, from 2-3 p.m. ET, join Rachael Majorowicz, RDN, CSR, LD, FNKF, for a webinar that reviews more recent literature since publication of the 2020 KDOQI Nutrition Guidelines, and describes how RDs can apply the guidelines and newer literature into practice. Rachael will also discuss where RDs can find readily available resources to help CKD patients in their daily practice. Common misconceptions of “the renal diet” will be addressed, as well as how more healthful, balanced recommendations can be provided.
