MESSAGE FROM MALAYSIAN DIETITIANS ASSOCIATION The Malaysian Dietitians Association (MDA) is pleased to collaborate with Baxter Healthcare (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd on this publication of dialysis-friendly recipes. We are very grateful to dietitians in MDA who have volunteered to develop these recipes for the benefit of individuals on dialysis. Dietitians are qualified professionals skilled to provide the highest level of nutrition care to individuals, groups and population for the prevention and management of diseases. These recipes are developed with the right ingredients and portions appropriate for individuals on dialysis. The nutrient analysis reveal that the recipes are energy-dense, contain proteins and are low in potassium, phosphate and sodium per serving. We sincerely hope this book would serve as a resource for individuals and their caretakers to try new recipes while monitoring the nutritional value of their meals. Bon Appetit! Prof. Winnie Chee PhD, MSc, BSc (Hons) Dietetics President (2017-2019) Malaysian Dietitians Association 5

EATING WELL WITH KIDNEY DISEASE ON DIALYSIS Contributed by Teong Lee Fang, Winnie Chee & Zulfitri Azuan Mat Daud Kidneys play major roles in removing waste products and fluids from our body. When the kidney fails and you go on "dialysis" i.e. peritoneal dialysis (PD) or haemodialysis (HD), taking care of what you eat and drink is an important part of your treatment and can help you feel better. It is important to note that because every individual has different nutrient needs, consultation with your dietitian is required to help you design individual eating plan that is right for you. Here we provide some basic facts on how to eat well when on dialysis. 1. Calories Adequate calories are required for your body to function well and prevent malnutrition. Your body gets energy from the calories you eat and drink. Calories come from the protein, carbohydrates and fat in your diet. How much calories you need depends on your age, gender, body size and activity level. You may also need to adjust how many calories you eat based on your weight goals. Some people will need to limit the calories they eat. Others may need to have more calories. It is advisable to seek the advice of a dietitian or healthcare professional to help you set the amount of calories you need. For people on PD, some calories come from dialysate solution which contains dextrose, a form of sugar, providing calories. Therefore, the total calories needed for one day may need adjustment of calories from food. 2. Protein Most people on dialysis need to eat more protein. Protein is needed to maintain blood protein level, stop bleeding, fight infection, recover from injury and maintenance of body tissue. During dialysis, some amount of protein 6

are lost, hence this needs to be replaced by eating adequate amounts of good quality protein-rich foods such as fish, chicken, lean meat, soy bean and eggs. 3. Sodium Individuals on dialysis should limit their sodium intake to 2,000 mg or less daily (about 1 tsp salt). Sodium can lead to increased thirst, swelling, shortness of breath, high blood pressure and heart failure. Sodium can be found naturally in food or added into food as preservative in processed or canned foods or added during cooking. Tips : -Try seasoning foods with fresh herbs, lemon juice or whole spices instead of salt or sauces; - Limit intake of salted foods, processed meats, canned foods and ready-to-use or convenient packet foods. - Use more fresh ingredients in food preparation and minimise eating out. 4. Phosphorous Phosphorus is a mineral found in almost all foods. It works with calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones healthy. When your kidneys are not working well, phosphorus can build up in your blood and lead to severe bone and heart problems, tissue calcification and itching. Dialysis can only remove limited amount of phosphorous from the body. Phosphorus content is higher in foods such as processed meats, chocolate, cocoa-based foods, wholegrains cereals, dark coloured cola drinks and nuts. It is important to consume phosphate binder medication with meals to help reduce absorption of phosphorous into the body. It is also advisable to avoid processed foods containing phosphorous as preservatives as it can be easily absorbed into body and increase blood phosphorus levels. 5. Potassium Your body needs some potassium to make your muscles, nerves and heart work. Kidneys that are not functioning properly cannot remove the potassium in the urine, so it builds up in the blood. This can be dangerous to your heart as too much potassium can cause irregular heart beat or cause the heart to stop. Most food contain potassium, but some contain larger amount. If you are on peritoneal dialysis, you often need not limit your potassium intake. However, those on haemodialysis will need to monitor their blood potassium levels. If the blood potassium levels are frequently high, then it is advisable to limit potassium-rich foods. 6. Fluids People on dialysis often have decreased urine output, thus increase fluid in the body could put unnecessary pressure to the person heart & lungs. Dry mouth and thirst are common among individual on dialysis. However, too much fluid in your body can cause high blood pressure, swelling and heart failure. Extra fluid can also build up around your lungs and make it hard to breathe. Individuals on dialysis need self-control to balance the amount of fluid allowed from various sources such as drinking water, water for medications, soups, ice-cubes, ice-creams, and others. 7
