　　Diet & nutrition
　　When you have chronic kidney disease, managing what you eat and drink can be a challenge; however, it can positively influence how you feel and what other treatments you might need.
　　An Accredited Practising Dietitian experienced in kidney disease, called a renal dietitian, is the best person to consult about an individualised meal plan. The first step will be a dietary assessment to review your intake of energy and important nutrients.
　　Dietary advice is given on a personal basis, taking into account what you like to eat, how you are feeling, your age, lifestyle, weight, muscle size, health status and blood test results.
　　As kidney disease progresses, your dietary needs are likely to change.
　　The initial dietary changes recommended might be small, but as your kidney disease progresses more significant changes may be required.
　　Here’s what you can do to get the most out of your appointment with a renal dietitian:
　　Over a number of days before your appointment, write down what you eat and take the list with you.
　　Take a list of your medications.
　　If someone else normally cooks for you, ask them to go with you.
　　Ask questions so that you feel confident about what you need to do and why.
　　Organise regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
