Global Survey of Kidney Nutrition Reveals Shortage of Qualified Dieticians
The paper, “Assessing Global Kidney Nutrition Care,” will shortly be published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) Global Kidney Health Atlas (GKHA) Committee partnered with the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM) to develop a Global Kidney Nutrition Care Atlas.
155 ISN-affiliated countries completed an electronic survey evaluating global availability, capacity, and cost of nutrition-related kidney care services, as well as communication between dietitians and nephrologists, intending to address the significant gaps in kidney care focusing on diet and nutrition.
Look out for the paper and accompanying press release later this month.
