Which dietary changes can I discuss for cholesterol?

Priorities include fibre from whole grains and legumes, and replacing some saturated fats with unsaturated fats. The plan takes your usual meals into account.

Does nutrition replace my blood-pressure treatment?

No. Dietary support complements medical care. Do not change your treatment without speaking to the doctor who prescribes it.

Should protein be stopped?

No. Only your nephrologist sets any protein target. An unsupervised reduction risks undernutrition and muscle loss.

Heart health & blood test results

Cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, fatty liver, kidney function or uric acid: turning your test results into concrete dietary changes that complement your medical follow-up.

Work that complements your medical follow-up, never replaces it.

You may recognise yourself here

Your last check-up showed raised cholesterol, triglycerides or blood pressure.
An ultrasound showed a “fatty liver” or liver enzymes are raised.
Your doctor monitors your kidney function or uric acid.

Which situation fits you?

High LDL or triglycerides: “High cholesterol & triglycerides”.
High blood pressure: “High blood pressure & the DASH diet”.
Liver, kidneys or gout: the page dedicated to each.

What the dietitian can work on with you

Turning your test results into concrete dietary changes.
Adapting intake (salt, potassium, protein, fibre, fats) to your situation.
Making medical recommendations applicable in daily life.

What remains with your doctor

Diagnosis, treatment and biological targets are set by your doctor.
Nutritional care is complementary and replaces no treatment.
Adjustments in kidney disease are made with the nephrologist.

Clinical note: Dietary care complements care from your doctor, who is responsible for diagnosis, prescribing laboratory tests and the CNS prescription.
