Dietitian Course: Dietitian's Guide to Home Dialysis: The Future of ESRD Nutrition Care

DIETITIAN'S GUIDE TO HOME DIALYSIS: THE FUTURE OF ESRD NUTRITION CARE

In this presentation, we will explore what the future of ESRD nutrition care will look like with the approval of the new presidential kidney care executive order. In the United States, previous focus has been admitting patients on incenter hemodialysis. Now the newer trends and financial incentives will be geared for doctors to refer patients to go on home dialysis therapies. Currently, there is only 12% of the dialysis population on home programs and in the next couple of years the goal will be 80% on home modality options.

Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:

Understand the new executive order about home dialysis therapies.

Distinguish between home dialysis therapies that are available.

Comprehend the process of peritoneal dialysis.

Differentiate between the different types of peritoneal dialysis.

Understand nutrient requirements for this form of dialysis.

Be able to assess and manage nutrition care in patients/clients on this form of dialysis using current research/guidelines.
