What is the effect of MNT provided by a dietitian on quality of life in adults with CKD 1-5D and post-transplant?
- Conclusion
  The effects of individualized counselling/medical nutrition therapy (MNT) with a registered dietitian nutriitonist (RDN) on quality of life (QoL) outcomes were unclear. Further research is warranted to understand the effect of MNT on QoL in this population.

What is the effect of MNT provided by a dietitian on calcium, potassium or sodium levels or calcium-phosphorus product in adults with CKD 1-5D and post-transplant?
- Conclusion
  In patients with CKD on hemodialysis, provision of phosphate-focused education materials in addition to nutrition counseling did not affect calcium levels, but levels were increased following a 12 month multi-disciplinary nutrition education program compared to an oral nutrient supplement (ONS). In addition, medical nutrition therapy (MNT) decreased CaXP product in participants receiving counselling and educational games for eight weeks, but there was no change in a study with phosphate-focused education for six months. In one study, there was no effect of MNT on sodium levels. In a range of CKD patients, MNT did not affect potassium levels. Further research is warranted.
