Can you please tell me the ramifications of someone on dialysis drinking soda?

Soda and dialysis: When a dialysis patient drinks soda (s), two important things need to be considered. The first is how much potassium is in the it. Colas and citrus flavored s have high potassium levels which may cause a problem. Another consideration is the amount of fluid ingested. A 12 ounce can of sodium as about 330 cc of fluid. Dialysis patients need to watch their fluid intake. Ask your nephorologist.

3 issues: Volume. Interdialytic gains should be limited to 1kg (1liter)/day so that means 2 liters over two days. A soda can is 375ml. Phosphate. Colas contribute to your phosphate burden and increase the need to require phosphate binders with meals. Calories. Empty calories don't benefit you.
