What is the recommended daily protein intake for a stable adult hemodialysis patient per KDOQI guidelines?
Answer: 1.2–1.4 g/kg/day
Hemodialysis patients require 1.2–1.4 g/kg/day of protein to compensate for dialysis-related catabolism and amino acid losses.
Which dialysis modality results in greater continuous protein and amino acid losses due to membrane permeability?
Answer: Peritoneal dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis results in significant ongoing protein and amino acid losses through the peritoneal membrane with each exchange.
Intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) is clinically indicated for hemodialysis patients who have which condition?
Answer: Inadequate oral/enteral intake despite dietary counseling
IDPN supplements nutrition delivered during hemodialysis sessions when oral and enteral intake are insufficient.
What is the typical recommended dietary phosphorus range for dialysis patients to prevent hyperphosphatemia?
Answer: 800–1000 mg/day
Dialysis patients are generally advised to restrict phosphorus to 800–1000 mg/day to control serum phosphorus levels.
Which hemodialysis frequency allows the greatest dietary fluid liberalization due to more frequent fluid removal?
Answer: Daily hemodialysis (6×/week)
Daily hemodialysis allows more fluid removal sessions per week, enabling a more liberal daily fluid intake allowance.
In dialysis patients, 'dry weight' is best defined as:
Answer: The estimated post-dialysis weight representing euvolemia without excess fluid
Dry weight is the target post-dialysis weight representing the patient's optimal fluid-balanced (euvolemic) state.
