Renal dietitians play a pivotal role in the ongoing management of chronic kidney disease in patients on hemodialysis. Awareness of changes to clinical practice guidelines that may impact laboratory parameters associated with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder is important for optimal patient care. In this article, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline Update recommendations related to the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in adults on hemodialysis are reviewed and treatment implications for renal dietitians discussed. Specific attention is given to the integration of updated recommendations such as the use of calcimimetics as part of a combination approach to the existing treatment paradigm. Renal dietitians can directly apply the updated clinical recommendations in the evaluation of diet composition; food additives; medication adherence challenges with phosphate binder type and use and serial monitoring of phosphorus, calcium, and parathyroid hormone levels to inform clinical decisions on treatment options for patients.

Introduction: Ultra-processed foods are evident to play a role in the development of nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NR-NCDs). There's a scarcity of data in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) regarding ultra-processed food consumption, which highlights the need for such data in this region that is witnessing a nutrition transition. This study was conducted to assess the dietary pattern of Lebanese adults according to different degrees of food processing.

The aim of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Renal Inpatient Nutrition Screening Tool (Renal iNUT) for hemodialysis patients.The Renal Inpatient Nutrition Screening Tool (Renal iNUT) and the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) were used in adult hemodialysis patients at two different centers to identify malnutrition. The Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), regarded as the gold standard for nutritional status assessment, was utilized for comparison.

Value-based care (VBC) aims to improve patient health outcomes relative to the cost of care by shifting from traditional fee-for-service models to patient-centered, outcome-driven approaches. This framework is particularly important in nephrology, where high costs associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage kidney disease have prompted the adoption of new care models. Key programs such as the Comprehensive End-Stage Renal Disease Care Model and the Kidney Care Choices program have introduced multidisciplinary teams and early-stage CKD interventions to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.

Practical Relevance: Phosphorus is an essential nutrient required for the normal function of every cell in the body and a deficiency in dietary phosphorus may lead to adverse effects. Conversely, high dietary phosphorus may cause kidney damage in otherwise healthy adult cats, particularly when provided in highly bioavailable forms and when the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is low. For cats that have chronic kidney disease (CKD), phosphorus is the most important mineral in its pathogenesis and morbidity.
