▪ Due to decreased erythropoietin production, decreased RBC lifespan, GI
bleeds from toxin/ulcer formation, and blood loss from hemodialysis
o Bone disease & metastatic and vascular calcifications

metabolism and high aluminum levels

o Labs: electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, protein, transferrin, and iron levels
o Assess patients diet history, food preferences, and calorie counts
o Assess for factors that can contribute to altered intake
▪ Anorexia, n/v, depression, diet unpalpable to patient, lack of
understanding of restrictions, and stomatitis
