What are the protein needs for adults with renal disease and pressure ulcers who are not on dialysis?

Complex: Skin ulcerations require adequate circulation and nutrition to heal. Protein restriction is not appropriate in this circumstance.

Pressure sores: Pressure avoidance is the one 'must do' to allow sores to heal. As for diet, if you eat well you should be fine. Taking a multivitamin can only help. If you are worried about your nutritional status, see your doctor and have that evaluated.
