Official Title: Decreasing Intakes & Absorption of Phosphorus in Haemodialysis Patients Through Food Choices

Brief Summary:

Based on new evidence renal dietitians in Ireland are revising the diet sheet that is used to teach patients about reducing blood phosphate. Changes that renal dietitians plan to make to the dietary phosphorus prescription

  • Inclusion of some nuts and pulses
  • More detailed education re phosphate additives
  • More accurate protein prescription
  • Inclusion of more whole grains
  • Encouraging the use of foods with a low phosphorus to protein ratio

The investigators want to test the two diet prescription to find out, which one is better at reducing blood phosphate and which one is more acceptable to patients. The investigators also want to make sure it is safe.
