Part of the job of dialysis is to take off extra fluid your kidneys do not
remove anymore. This is important, because if you have too much fluid, you may
have:
Swelling in your face, hands, and feet called edema
Headaches and low energy
Trouble breathing from fluid in your lungs
Heart damage from stretching your heart with too much fluid
High blood pressure that can lead to a stroke
What Diet Should A Diabetic Undergoing Dialysis Follow?
On the Black Diet, you eat only black foods. Because you'll soon tire of
blackened fish, burned veggies, squid ink, black soybeans, and licorice and
there aren't a heck of a lot of other black foods, you'll eat a heck of a lot
less.
Vegetables like lettuce, cucumber and eggplant are excellent vegetable
choices for a dialysis diet. Potassium is essential for your heart to beat
properly but too much can be lethal in kidney disease
Meat and Protein food. beef, chicken, turkey and fish freshly prepared using
herbs and spices instead of salt. Include meat with every meal to obtain
necessary amounts of protein. For breakfast have an egg, or one serving of egg
substitute.
