The purpose of this study is to determine whether spending more time with a dietitian will improve dietary compliance in a group of hemodialysis patients, with particular respect to phosphate control.

Read the detailed description
  • randomised prospective controlled trial
  • stable haemodialysis patients on thrice weekly haemodialysis (URR > 66%)
  • either had standard dietetic review - 6 monthly or intensive review - monthly
  • all patients had to have a serum phosphate > 1.8 mmol/l over the previous three months to be recruited
  • study period 6 months, and then patients followed for a further 3 months
