Frequency of intake of dietary fiber food groups, its determinants, and the relationship with hyperkalemia in hemodialysis patients in a multicenter study
Abstract:Purpose: Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) treatment can have a low intake of dietary fiber-rich food groups to decrease hyperkalemia risk. This multicenter cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the frequency of intake of dietary fiber sources, its determinants, and the relationship with hyperkalemia in HD patients. Methods: HD patients from four dialysis clinics answered a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) involving the main dietary fiber sources with seven frequency possibilities. The answers were… Show more
