Hemodialysis can remove metabolic waste in the body, but at the same time, part of the tissue protein and nutrient loss, coupled with uremia itself caused by anorexia, infection, metabolic disorders, prone to malnutrition, if combined with bacterial infection, resistance decline, etc., will produce many adverse consequences, so it is required to supplement its consumption in the diet to maintain the nutritional needs of patients. Increased resistance to disease.

Dietary attention:

1. Protein intake, dialysis patients mainly intake high-quality protein, high-quality protein mainly milk, eggs, lean meat and so on.

2. Caloric intake, should choose plant protein is low and high energy food, such as tomatoes, taro, vermiculture and so on.

Inorganic salt intake, because uremia is mostly accompanied by high blood pressure, sodium salt intake should be limited, the potassium content of food should be properly adjusted according to the blood potassium situation, and dialysis patients without urine should reduce high potassium food intake while limiting water. Most dialysis patients have low blood calcium and high blood phosphorus, so the intake of food calcium should be appropriately increased and the intake of phosphorus should be limited. Common grains, beans, nuts, animal organs, etc., all contain high phosphorus, try to reduce consumption. The absorption of calcium in food is not up to standard, to add some calcium and active vitamin D3, the other is low fat and low cholesterol food, minimize greasy and fried food, avoid eating animal offal, cooking to vegetable oil.

In terms of daily life: dialysis patients must have appropriate activities, appropriate walking and tai chi for old age. However, it should be noted that we must avoid bumps and falls. Dialysis age may have some changes in bone, simple bumps may easily cause fractures, so pay more attention to the action, try to avoid falling, falling, and avoid strenuous activities.

Vascular access protection: Hemodialysis patients should pay attention to the protection of vascular access, avoid blood pressure, intravenous infusion, blood drawing, wearing watches, lifting heavy objects, etc. At the same time, wear loose and soft clothes as far as possible, maintain a good sleeping position, prevent oppression, and avoid friction between hard objects and skin.  

For maintenance hemodialysis patients, to improve the quality of life, it is necessary to have adequate dialysis, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, develop good living habits, maintain optimistic mood, adequate sleep, stop smoking, limit alcohol, do not overeat, improve anemia, prevent infection, control blood pressure and weight to improve the quality of life.
