A nurse is preparing to give health education for a client on hemodialysis.

For clients on hemodialysis, protein intake is usually restricted to 1.2-1.3 g/kg of body weight to prevent the accumulation of waste products while still providing enough protein to maintain muscle mass and overall health. Sodium intake, fluid intake, and potassium intake are also important to monitor, but the specific restrictions for sodium and potassium vary based on individual needs and lab results. Fluid intake is typically individualized and may be more restrictive than 2000 ml/day.
