RENAL DIET & RECIPES

With a vision to ‘create a patient education
website covering all aspects of the renal diet for
people with CKD and their carers’ and ultimate aims
of ‘helping our kidney patients and their carers to
understand the kidney diet better, to help them to
explore new avenues with regard to cooking on a
kidney diet and to improve the food choices and
variety available to them’ achieving this was always
going to be a challenge. However, with a shared
vision, a very clear project scope and content
determined by the end user, the final outcome was
a website consisting of the following sections:
RECIPES
41 nutritionally analysed recipes, suitable for patients with
CKD, with both the total analysis per portion and the number
of ‘Renal allowances’ per portion (i.e. protein exchanges,
dairy, fruit, vegetables and potatoes) reported and allergens
identified where relevant. The recipes are printable and CHICKEN BURGERS
searchable within the recipe finder function.
