The dialysis diet controls the intake of fluid, protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. The controlled amounts of each of these nutrients are based on the person’s blood levels of sodium, potassium, phosporus, calcium, albumin, and urea measured before and immediately after a dialysis treatment. Fluid restriction is based on the amount of urine output and weight gain between dialysis treatments.
