Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to determine the most effective nutrition management for patients with chronic kidney disease in terms of assessment and intervention methods. It is expected that provision of individual nutrition counselling with structured telephone-based follow-up will improve the nutritional status, quality of life and dietary intake of chronic kidney disease patients preparing for dialysis compared with standard care treatment.
Interventions
This is a 12-week prospective randomised-controlled trial.
The intervention treatment group are provided with an inital individual consultation with a dietitian at baseline, and are then followed up by telephone consultation, fortnightly for the first month, then monthly. The intervetion aims to nutrition prescription guidelines for energy (125-146kJ/kg/day), and protein (0.75 - 1.0g/kg/day) utilising self-management principles (goal setting, meal planning etc).
