ABSTRACT
The dietary management is a vital part for all patients under going long term hemodialysis. To study the dietary pattern of patients under going long term hemodialysis, a scheduled personal interview was designed to collect the required data from 102 adult patients distributed at three dialysis units attached to three hospitals in Alex.. The results indicate that most of the patients did not restrict neither their fluid intake, nor the sodium and potassium intake in their diets. It was also revealed that a large number of the patients were not aware of the relation between fluid retention and the rise of blood pressure. The majority of illiterate patients did not consume enough proteins of high biological values
