Renal Dietitians are healthcare professionals who specialize in providing nutritional care to patients with kidney disease. They work with patients to develop individualized nutrition plans that meet their specific needs. Renal Dietitians may also provide nutrition education to patients and their families, and they may work with other healthcare professionals to develop and implement nutrition policies and programs.
Education and Training
Renal Dietitians must have a bachelor's degree in nutrition or a related field. They must also complete an internship program that is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). After completing their internship, Renal Dietitians must pass a national exam to become registered dietitians (RDs). RDs who want to specialize in renal nutrition can earn a Certificate of Training in Renal Nutrition from the Renal Nutrition Council of the American Society of Renal Nutrition.
