Nutritional Assessment and Prescription for Children Receiving Maintenance Dialysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pediatric Dialysis

Abstract

Nutrition is a cornerstone in the care of pediatric patients receiving chronic dialysis and impacts outcomes beginning at infancy and continuing through young adulthood. While small strides have been made to improve the nutritional status of this population, achieving ideal growth remains a challenge.

Optimization of nutritional status is pivotal for growth and development, to prevent or reverse the consequences of undernutrition and to positively affect the long-term morbidity and mortality risk. Nutrition care and interventions are complex in scope, beginning with thorough assessments that include detailed and routine anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary reviews.

Children on dialysis require complex formula and diet manipulations. Early and ongoing dietary education and counseling are essential, and the pediatric renal dietitian plays an important role in empowering patients and caregivers in achieving optimal self-management and best outcomes.
