Postgraduate certificate Nutrition in Kidney Diseases

An appropriate diet can help manage the progression of kidney disease and reduce the risk of complications such as cardiovascular conditions. Nutritionists play a key role in this field, as they are able to provide specific dietary recommendations tailored to each patient's individual needs. To remain effective in this area, nutrition professionals must have a solid understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases and their nutritional implications. They must also be familiar with various therapeutic approaches, such as sodium, protein, and potassium restrictions. For this reason, TECH has developed this Postgraduate Certificate with the primary goal of equipping students with the skills and knowledge required in this specialized area. The program is delivered through audiovisual resources, supplementary readings, and practical exercises based on the innovative Relearning methodology.
