Why is appropriate kcalorie intake important in the nutrition care of patients with chronic kidney disease?
Patients with chronic kidney disease should consume an energy intake that allows them to maintain a healthy body weight. Because obesity has been associated with disease progression, obese patients may benefit from weight loss. Individuals at risk of PEM and wasting should consume foods with high energy density; some malnourished patients may require oral supplements or tube feedings to maintain an appropriate weight. Wasting is more prevalent during maintenance dialysis than in earlier stages of illness.
