ADIME
A : (Assessment) (5pts):
[(2000ml bag x 2.5% dextrose)= 50g Carb x 3.4cal/g= 170cal x 0.6 (absorbed) = 102
calories x 5 (Daily exchanges)= 510 carb calories from dialysate per day
Sodium is found to be lower than its ideal range of 136 to 144 mEq/L. This is
likely due to the edema present in this patient.
Potassium is normal, if it were high than it would need to be restricted in the diet
because the impaired kidney cant properly regulate electrolytes.
Chloride is lower than its ideal range of 98 to 107 mEq/L. This is likely due to the
ions dilution occurring with edema.
Bicarbonate is lower than its ideal range of 23 to 29 mmol/L. This is likely due to
renal failure.
BUN is higher than its normal range of 8 to 23 mg/dL. This is likely due to the
decreased ability of the kidney to clear nitrogenous wastes during kidney
Creatinine is higher than its normal range of 0.4 to 1.2 mg/dl. This is likely due to
the decreased ability of the kidney to clear nitrogenous wastes during kidney
disease.
Glucose is high above of its normal range 70-99 mg/dL. This is an indicator of
poorly regulated blood glucose in the diabetic patient. This could also be elevated
due to the use of Colace.
Hemoglobin is lower than its ideal range of 12.1 to 15.6 g/dL. This can be due to
the anemia and hyperparathyroidism present with this patient.
Hemoglobin A1C is higher than its normal range of 4 to 6%. This indicates
diabetes is being poorly controlled.
White blood cells are higher than their usual range of 3.2 to 10.6. This may be due
to the trauma associated with the recent placing of the peritoneal catheter.
Hematocrit is lower than its usual range of 41 to 51%. This is likely due to the
anemia of chronic kidney disease present in this patient.
I & O is negative indicating fluid retention is declining
BP is high likely contributed to by the retention of fluid leading to
its increased presence in vascular spaces.

Nutrition Focused Physical Findings: (obesity, cachexia, decubitus, mental status) (5pts)
Upon examination F.H. appeared to be retaining fluids, edema (+1) was present in
his right arm and hand. This wasnt typical for him. His surgical wound on his abdomen
appeared to be intact along with the peritoneal catheter, which had just been placed. His
skin was of good turgor. There wasnt any signs of depletion in either somatic muscle
mass or subcutaneous fat stores. He was alert and oriented upon my arrival and proved to
be fairly talkative.
Pertinent Social Hx: (5pts)
F.H. is a well appearing 52-year-old Caucasian male. His wife and parents are all
deceased. He lives with his sister whom does his shopping and cooking. He is single and
Catholic. He denies any difficulty in regards to food preparation or consumption. He
denies alcohol consumption and has no past history of illicit drug use. Both Heart and
Renal Disease run in his family.
Nutrition History, Diet PTA (5pts)
Prior to admission F.H. reported to have a fair diet. He reported compliance with a
sodium restriction related to his renal diet and cardiovascular disease. When asked about
controlling carbohydrates related to his diabetes he claimed he tried to limit sweets, but
often failed. He also claimed carbohydrate consumption was highly inconsistent as only
one meal was eaten per day around lunchtime. This large meal typically consisted of
various sandwiches made by his sister including meats. They meats werent usually cold
cuts, rather, they were various cuts of meat cooked on a pan. He is most likely to request
a chicken sandwich, as chicken is his favorite protein source. He claimed other meals
were skipped due to lack of appetite. However, it became apparent sweets were
consumed at night. Snack items included candy, cookies, and other sweets. It seemed F.H.
lacked any knowledge towards the application of a consistent carbohydrate diet and its
benefits in regards to controlling blood glucose levels.
F.H. claimed to have regained his appetite since his recent surgery. He reports to
be eating his normal one meal a day along with typical snacks. He enjoys the food
options and has no complaints about the meals. He is following his sodium restriction
however is completely unaware of his consistent carbohydrate diet.
Inconsistent carbohydrate intake related to food and nutrition related knowledge deficit as
evidenced by Hbg A1c of 12.2H and patients report of consuming only one meal per day.
I (Intervention) (15 pts) Stems from Nutritional Diagnosis and Etiology and must
determine patient-focused expected outcomes for each nutrition diagnosis
Organized into 4 categories: (Include only categories that pertain to your patient)
Food and/or Nutrient Delivery (meals, snacks, enteral and/or parenteral feeding;
supplements as in commercial, food/drink based, or vitamin/mineral)
Coordination of care
Recommend restrictions to MD
Discuss possible supplementation with MD
Nursing staff to monitor BG and Wt.
Have nursing staff monitor compliance to supplementations (if becomes
applicable), diet, and restrictions
M/E Monitoring and Evaluation (10pts) Nutrition care indicators that will reflect a
change in nutrition care provided
Organized into 4 categories: (Include only categories that pertain to your patient)
Frequent inquiry to the patient and mealtime observation could give insight towards
supplement intake (if applicable) along with compliance towards dietary modification.
The weight of F.H. should be monitored daily until it remains fairly consistent, indicating
the absence of fluid retention.
End stage renal disease that is managed with Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) involves the
infusion of carbohydrates into the body due to the high concentration of dextrose present
in the dialysate. The amount of calories entering the body can be calculated using the
formula: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD): [(Dextrose % X L) X 3.4]
X 60% = kcal. Dietary intake must be modified to account for this caloric intake.
However, in this diabetic patient the high serum levels of glucose may cause water and
potassium to be pulled out of cells and result in hypokalemia. Dialysis can drain the body
of protein. Those on PD should consume 1.2 to 1.5g/kg of protein. High protein
consumption is no longer a concern for the renal patient because dialysis will remove
nitrogenous wastes produced by protein metabolism. Caloric intake of 25 calories per kg
of body weight is sufficient for the nutritionally sound PD patient. Sodium is often
restricted to 2g. This is because, excessive sodium can result in fluid retention, edema,
and hypertension. Potassium may need to be restricted based on close monitoring of
serum levels. This is because electrolytes arent properly regulated when kidney function
is impaired. A typical potassium restriction for a patient on CAPD is 4g. Phosphate isnt
easily cleared by dialysis, therefore its intake must be restricted to about 1200mg/d. This
is difficult due to its presence in protein, which is plentiful in this diet. In ESRD the
kidney has less ability to convert vitamin D into its active form. Therefore, calcium isnt
properly absorbed. This can lead to over-secretion of PTH in order increase calcium
reabsorption to restore serum levels. This is referred to as Renal Osteodystrophy and can
lead to secondary Hyperparathyroidism. To avoid these complications active vitamin D
and calcium are supplemented. Anemia of chronic renal disease is commonly caused by
the kidneys loss of ability to produce EPO, which stimulates red blood cell (RBC)
production in bone marrow. This form of anemia is often treated by use of a synthetic
EPO that results in such a drastic increase in RBC production that iron needs cant be met
orally. Intravenous iron is used periodically when serum ferritin (stored form of iron)
levels fall below 100ng/ml. Water soluble vitamins are often lost during dialysis. Folate is
often supplemented at 1g/day. Vitamin C is also supplemented along with a vitamin B
complex.1

*I was able to follow all components of proposed diet plan besides the
phosphate restriction. It isnt feasible to have such a low phosphorus
intake when protein needs are so high. However, I was able to keep
phosphorus relatively low in relation to the amount of protein
consumed.
