One common discomfort experienced by our patients with end stage renal disease are caused by increased Phosphorus levels.
PHOSPHORUS management is a crucial part of ESRD care.
While it's an essential mineral, too much can lead to complications like bone disease and heart problems.
Let's talk about:
πΈHigh Phosphorus foods: Avoid Dairy Products (milk, cheese, cream)
,Dark Colored Sodas.
πΈLow-phosphorus foods: Fruits, vegetables, rice, pasta, cornflakes, some fish, other meats
πΈMedications:
1. Phosphorus binders: Medications e.g. Sevelamer to help remove phosphorus from your body.
2. Medications that relieve itching- antihistamines.
Talk to your doctor if they're right for you.

Every person's needs are different.
