However, since PD is done daily, it removes potassium more frequently and you may have less restriction on potassium 3,4
If you have reduced urine output, you would need to limit your intake of fluids. Dialysis sessions will help you get rid of excess fluid. Home dialysis such as peritoneal dialysis and daily home hemodialysis is performed daily and fluids will be removed daily. You may not be as limited if you are on daily dialysis. 4,6,8
You also need additional protein (e.g. fresh meat and poultry) as dialysis removes toxins as well as valuable protein and amino acids. Note that some of the high-protein food may contain a lot of phosphorous. 4,7
