Is there a limitation to the life of patients on dialysis? The answer is yes. The doctor will often remind the patients what they can eat and cannot eat, what they can do or cannot do, etc. and you will see that the life will be a little different from the healthy people. Now, let’s see.

As the artificial kidney, dialysis can help the damaged kidneys discharge extra wastes and toxins from the body. At the same time, dialysis cannot repair kidney damage. More worrying, dialysis also bring the new health problems to patients. Therefore, to keep health for dialysis patients, they need to pay more special attention to their daily life.

Diet

1. Limit intake of water

Fluid restriction can help you feel comfortable before, during and after your dialysis sessions. Even though dialysis gets rid of excess fluid and waste in the body, it's not as effective as healthy kidneys that work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

2. Supply nutrients like protein, vitamin, and calcium.

Since dialysis patients often feel fatigue, low immunity and poor appetite and so on, patients need to supply necessary nutrients like protein, vitamins and calcium to maintain the body energy.
