| [ Summary ] | The aging of hemodialysis patients is certain. Elderly patients who live only with their spouses sometimes have difficulties in shopping and preparing their meals due to a decline in performance in activities of daily living. As part of nutritional guidance, cooking practice is being provided in our hospital. This information was used for one case in which the patient was receiving exercise therapy. The patient had been receiving care for approximately 2 years and was in a stable condition. Cooking practice and dietary supplementation may provide appropriate nutritional guidance for individual elderly patients. Periodic observation of the dietary status and infl ammatory disorders of dialysis patients is crucial for providing appropriate exercise therapy. |
