About This Event
Cooking Demo: Dietary Considerations for Patients with IgA Nephropathy
Background
In this webinar, Registered Dietitian Lauren Levy and Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Nephropathy (IgAN) patient and Kidney-Friendly Chef Anthony Valentine will share their combined expertise in IgAN and nutrition. They will start by providing an overview of IgAN, including Chef Anthony’s personal experience as a chef with IgAN. Anthony will then share a cooking demonstration of a delicious kidney-healthy recipe that can be enjoyed by patients with IgAN and their families alike. Registered Dietitian Lauren Levy will provide an overview of nutritional concepts—including macronutrients such as protein, and electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and phosphorus—in IgAN, and provide dietary recommendations for patients with IgAN. She will also provide a nutritional analysis of Chef Anthony’s recipe.
Did You Know?
While researchers have not found evidence that diet and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing IgAN, there are still many diet-related steps that can help lower a patient’s risk of worsening CKD due to the disease, including limiting sodium intake and increasing plant-based protein in the diet1.
Why Attend This Webinar?
It is important that clinicians have a better understanding of dietary recommendations for patients with IgAN to help improve patient outcomes and encourage patients with IgAN to follow a kidney-healthy diet.
