Manual nutricional para pacientes con enfermedad renal en Hospital de Infectología Dr. José Daniel Rodríguez Maridueña

Abstract

Currently, there has been an increase in the number of patients diagnosed with some renal disease, in addition to the lack of knowledge they have about diet therapy. The objective of this project is to design a nutritional manual for patients in the different stages of renal disease at the Hospital de Infectología “Dr. José Daniel Rodríguez Maridueña” Through surveys carried out in Microsoft Forms and the Excel tool to analyze the results obtained, the main doubts of the patients regarding nutritional issues were evidenced, thus adapting their needs to the manual. For the development of this nutritional guide, information was sought from the main bibliographic sources and nutritional guides. With such data, informative sections were elaborated, ranging from the definition of the disease, types and amounts of food, nutritional management in relation to other comorbidities, to hydration issues. In conclusion, this manual is a practical support tool that facilitates the understanding and application of nutritional recommendations in daily life for the prevention of complications and guarantees the satisfaction of the nutritional requirements of patients adjusted to the degree of renal disease.
