Dialysis Diet for Indian Patients — A Practical Guide
The Three Things a Dialysis Diet Manages
Dialysis diets typically limit potassium, phosphorus, and fluid intake, while making sure protein intake stays high enough to prevent muscle loss between sessions.
Everyday Indian Foods That Fit
Moong dal and paneer in moderation, roti over rice for some patients, and boiled vegetables (which reduces potassium content) are common adjustments. A renal dietitian can tailor this to your specific lab values.
Foods to Limit
Bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, and coconut water are high in potassium and often need to be limited. Processed and packaged foods are usually high in hidden phosphorus and sodium.
