Practical Guide to Renal dietetics
This workbook has 2 sections (10 chapters) completed and uploaded to the website for ready for use, covering background kidney knowledge and CKD 1-5. It has been designed to supplement pre registration learning, but is staged so that it is also useful for qualified dietitians wanting to learn about Renal Nutrition. See more here
Barbara Engel and Claire Gardiner lead on this project, and are inviting expressions of interest to work with them in developing further chapters. If you would like to contribute to the planned work on Transplantation, AKI, Biochemistry, Malnutrition, Nephrotic Syndrome, Renal Stones or UKM, please get in touch. [email protected]
