+ Importance of Protein

Your albumin level reflects the amount of protein in your body, which is a good indicator of your nutritional status. Protein helps you keep muscle and maintain healthy cells, organs, and bones as well as supporting your immune system to fight infections. The better nourished you are, the

healthier you will be, which is why it is important for individuals on dialysis to maintain a good nutritional status in order to reduce risks for complications. Maintaining your albumin at or above 3.8mg/dL is ideal.

Tips on increasing your protein

Protein foods include:

- Beef

- Soy Products (tofu)

- Chicken and turkey

- Eggs

- Pork

- Milk, cheese, & yogurt

- Lamb & game meat

- Beans and nuts

- Fish and seafood

To increase your protein intake:

? Eat your biggest meal at a time in the day when your appetite is best. ? Eat six small meals a day instead of three larger ones. ? Include a protein item, even if it is a small portion in each meal/snack. ? Add additional egg whites to your scrambled eggs to boost the protein content of your

omelet without adding extra cholesterol or fat ? Eat the protein component of your meal first; that way, if you lose some of your appetite,

you will have eaten the protein. ? Drink your fluids after your meal, so they don't fill you up. ? Add tuna or grated hard-boiled egg to sauces. Serve over pasta, rice or toast. ? Add a snack during the day. Small amounts of yogurt, cottage cheese, toast and peanut

butter, and protein bars are good sources of protein and usually fit in most people's dialysis diets.

? Consider a protein supplement to ensure your protein needs are met. Ask a dietitian or

physician for recommendations on the type and quantity to take. Protein powders can be added to soups, hot cereals and drinks without drastically altering the taste. Renal protein

shakes are also available as a high-calorie, high-protein snack.
