Dr. Satyanarayana Garre, Nephrologist at Apollo Health City Hospital, Hyderabad presented the PowerPoint and he emphasized on balanced diet and nutrition to prevent any kind of illness.
Then later, he spoke particularly about renal diet, what all should be included and what all should be excluded. He explained in detail about proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and cholesterol. He also emphasized salt intake, that no salt alternative must be used, as it contains more potassium.

Also, he described particularly for dialysis patients to limit their daily intake of liquids overall. Lastly, he shared some latest researches done by AIIMS.
