The Initial Nutrition Assessment/Plan of Care must be completed within 30 days of admission or 13 treatments, whichever is later. At a minimum, the DaVita Dietitian is required to document on the nutrition progress of each hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patient quarterly. DaVita's optimal goal for albumin is 4.0 or higher A low albumin is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Interdisciplinary patient assessments and plans of care must be completed monthly for unstable patients. The DaVita minimum goal for nPCR is 1.5. A low albumin is always due to poor protein intake in patients on hemodialysis Dialysis patients are at an increased risk for protein/kcal malnutrition. The most serious side effects of chronic hyperphosphatemia are bone disease and itching.

True False In patients with below-normal albumin levels, it is important to obtain a corrected calcium value to recognize potential hypercalcemia. Hectorol is an active vitamin D analog. Parathyroid hormone is produced in the pancreas. A good substitute for Dr. Pepper is Sprite. Chocolate, nuts and seeds are high in phosphorus. Cinacalcet replaces binder therapy for controlling phosphorus. Calcium carbonate taken between meals acts as a calcium supplement. High serum phosphorus levels are linked to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD and a predisposition to metastatic calcification. Bone meal, dolomite, or oyster shell should not be used as a calcium binder because they may contain dangerous amounts of lead. Phosphate binders should be taken between meals. Alucaps are the first choice phosphate binder to try on…arrow_forward
