I see many tweets claiming that hypertension is a cause of CKD. This is a common error. It is far more likely that CKD is a cause of hypertension.

@CJNephro @kamkalantar Thank you for sharing. I love how this challenges dogma of patient won’t increase days. I also love how it addresses the reimbursement side.

Challenge: Can you name at least one core difference between PD nutrition and hemo nutrition?

[Jessianna Saville MS, RDN, LD, CLT @kni_pro]

So often in the world of prevention we focus on what goes in our mouth or what we are doing to move and stay fit. But, it is a massive oversight to not look at what we put on our mental load and in our mind. Stress drives as many poor outcomes as poor diet. #KNI

[Jessianna Saville MS, RDN, LD, CLT @kni_pro]

PD nutrition and HD nutrition are not the same. KNI is excited to introduce a comprehensive dietitian training to help renal dietitian gain the unique clinical skillset for helping patients achieve better outcomes in PD.
