@pdi-journal.bsky.social10/10 The authors' recommendation on dietetic care: "We recommend individuals receive medical nutrition therapy from a registered dietitian or equivalent on initiation of PD and then at least on an annual basis" (1C)
@pdi-journal.bsky.social9/10 On intraperitoneal amino acids: "We do not recommend intra-peritoneal amino acids as a stand-alone treatment for the prevention or management of PEW." (1D)
@pdi-journal.bsky.social8/10 On peritonitis: "We recommend individuals who develop peritonitis be screened for PEW." (1B)
@pdi-journal.bsky.social7/10 On potassium: "We suggest not routinely restricting potassium intake unless hyperkalaemia is evident. (2C)"
@pdi-journal.bsky.social6/10 On sodium: "We suggest individuals limit their dietary sodium intake to less than 100 mmol/day (<2.3 g/day, equivalent to < 5.8 g/day of salt) to optimise blood pressure control and avoid extracellular fluid volume expansion." (2B)
@pdi-journal.bsky.social5/10 On protein: "We recommend a dietary protein intake of 1.0–1.2 g/kg/day for individuals with or without diabetes who are metabolically stable to maintain nutrition status." (1B)
@pdi-journal.bsky.social4/10 On screening: "We recommend individuals, regardless of their PD prescription, undergo nutrition screening upon dialysis initiation, and repeat at least every 3–4 months thereafter." (1C)
@pdi-journal.bsky.social3/10 Protein-energy wasting is a pathological state of decreased body stores of protein and energy fuels (fat and muscle). An ISRNM systematic review cited in the paper found that 44–63% of individuals receiving PD had PEW.
@pdi-journal.bsky.social2/10 A workgroup of five nephrologists, nine dietitians and two dialysis nurses reviewed papers published from Jan 2017 to Dec 2024. Each recommendation is graded Level 1 (we recommend) or Level 2 (we suggest), with evidence certainty A to D.
@pdi-journal.bsky.social1/10 A joint ISRNM and ISPD practice recommendation sets out an inaugural practice recommendation on nutrition management in individuals receiving PD, across five key themed topics.
