Bon Secours Dialysis Center |
|
| I had the great opportunity to work with two extremely knowledgeable renal dietitians at Bon Secour Hospital in Baltimore. I had the chance to experience and learn about: |
- Chronic Kidney Disease and the dietary measures necessary to improve quality of life.
- How dialysis is performed, including the equipment, staffing and time issues that help for a successful treatment.
- Fluid retention and fluid restriction.
- Compliance issues that plague successful treatment.

DaVita Dietitian Connection Meeting |
|
During this week long rotation, I was also thankful to attend the biannual DaVita Dialysis Dietitian Connection Meeting. I learned a great deal about DaVita Dialysis and the current "hot topics" that their dietitians are concerned about.
A few of the topics included:
- Helping patients stretch their food dollar.
- Catheters and Albumin.
- Phosphorus Perspective - Hidden Sources and Ways to Manage.
- Shire's new Phosphorus binder, Fosrenol. Learn more about Fosrenol here
