A patient on dialysis is recommended to take ‘one tin can’ only which is of 150 ml. After dialysis, to compensate for the 13 gm protein loss during dialysis 150 ml can once is not harmful for the patient. Remaining fluid intake for the day can be consumed as on usual day.
What is daily protein requirement in Dialysis patients?
Dialysis removes protein waste from the blood, so a low protein diet is no longer needed. A higher amount of protein in the diet is necessary to help maintain blood protein levels and improve health. Recommended protein intake for the patients on dialysis is 0.8 to 1.2 gm/kg body weight/day. (e.g., 60 kg patient requires minimum 48 gm of protein per day.)
