Medical Diet for All Diseases — A Global Guide

Description

The patient with more than one condition

Single-condition dietary advice is straightforward and widely available. The difficulty arrives with the patient who has heart failure and chronic kidney disease, where one set of advice restricts sodium and the other restricts potassium and protein, and the two are usually issued by different clinics that have not spoken.

These 297 pages are unusual in addressing that directly.

Sixteen conditions, and their conflicts

Heart disease, hypertension and heart failure. Diabetes. Chronic kidney disease at different stages. Liver disease. Gout. Thyroid disorders. Gastrointestinal conditions. Each is covered on its own terms, and the chapters that follow deal explicitly with the common combinations and how to prioritise when they disagree.

Written to travel

The guidance is built around food groups and principles rather than a single national cuisine, with adaptations across the diets patients actually eat. Advice that assumes one food culture is unusable for most of the world’s patients, and this volume avoids that.

Academy placement

Patient-facing material recommended to members managing multimorbid patients, and to members in nephrology and endocrinology as often as in cardiology.
