Talk Description
Patients with kidney disease are at risk of developing hyperphosphatemia, it may be due to:
- Lack of awareness in renal dietary requirements, leading patients to eating foods rich in phosphate.
- Lack of knowledge on how to take phosphate binders correctly.
We would like to improve renal patients’ hyperphosphatemia status in our unit by providing more face-to-face education between nursing staff and patients.
