A relative of mine had been suffering kidney failure had undergone Peritoneal Catheter Surgery. He describes the treatment as one involving inner line of the abdomen to filter the blood from within the body of the patient. This interior lining is referred to in scientific terms as peritoneum. A few weeks prior to the surgery, the surgeon attaches a soft tube termed catheter in the abdomen.
During the treatment, the dialysis solution comprising of water with salt and additional additives flows in from bag to the catheter and then into the abdomen. When the bag has emptied itself, it is disconnected and then a cap is placed on the catheter in order that the patient can perform his/her daily chores. After the Dialysis solution has entered the abdomen or belly, the solution absorbs both, wastes as well as excess fluids from the body. What we wish to disclose to you is what you can eat pre and post-surgery.

Following are some of the foods you may be allowed to eat during the dialysis:
Firstly, proteins are necessary for the growth and the building of the muscles and for the reparation of the tissues. However, proteins leave behind a waste material named urea, which the kidneys are supposed to get rid of but due to their incapability in the present case, your blood might comprise of a huge amount of urea. Therefore, the quantity of protein intake should be paid heed to.
Calories are also very important because they provide energy to the body. However, too much of it could cause excess fluids to be taken out of the patients’ bodies and can cause unnecessary gain of weight.
