Haemodialysis case study presented by Anthony Meade, Advanced Renal Dietitian
An expert in renal dietetics, Anthony shares a practical and clinically rich haemodialysis case study using the ADIME approach (Assessment, Diagnosis, Intervention, Monitoring, Evaluation).
He demonstrates how to assess and manage a client on haemodialysis experiencing high interdialytic weight gains, elevated potassium and phosphate, inconsistent protein intake, low fibre and energy. The session thoughtfully explores how to interpret trends in biochemical data, prioritise nutrition-related diagnoses, and formulate achievable interventions tailored to the patient's lived experience. Anthony emphasises empathetic care and practical strategies such as timing of meals, sodium reduction, and the use of moist foods to manage fluid restrictions. The discussion also includes the role of comorbidities, medication side effects, and the importance of team-based care.
