Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Summary

Malnutrition in children adversely affects growth and neurocognitive and sexual development; therefore, nutritional management for children with chronic kidney disease focuses on promoting optimal growth and development through maintenance of good nutritional status and prevention of malnutrition, uremic toxicity and metabolic abnormalities. Dietary restrictions are imposed only when clearly needed and are individualized according to age, development and food preferences. Frequent monitoring and adjustments to the nutrition care plan are required in response to changes in the child’s nutritional status, age, development, anthropometrics, food preferences, residual renal function, biochemistries, renal replacement therapy, medications and psychosocial status.
