Sixteen-year-old patient Alex is the brains behind the name of the book – Renalicious.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital (RCH) has unveiled its first ever cookbook dedicated to children who are managing chronic kidney disease. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Developed by dietitians and nephrologists from the RCH, new cookbook Renalicious aims to improve the lives of families and children managing the challenges of poor kidney function.<\/p>\n

When kidneys aren\u2019t working well sodium, potassium and phosphate may need to be restricted from a child\u2019s diet. Children with kidney impairment often lose their appetite for long periods of time and commonly complain that food is very bland and unappealing.<\/p>\n

Renalicious provides practical ideas for families to modify some of their favourite recipes without compromising their child\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

Paediatric renal dietitian Rachael Cavanagh brought the idea to life with the support of the nephrology team, after identifying the need for an up-to-date, practical support to help the families she was seeing in clinic.<\/p>\n

Renal patients and families also had the opportunity to share their expertise by contributing recipes to the publication.<\/p>\n

Dr Mandy Walker, Director of Nephrology at the RCH, said the book was developed to ease the stress and anxiety for children and families when it comes to creating meals for kids with kidney disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving kidney impairment is a difficult journey for any family and we hope this book will provide some practical assistance along the way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that Renalicious will provide practical ideas for dietary potassium, sodium and phosphate modification and will guide families to recreate their favourite recipes while reducing their child\u2019s long term health risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Renalicious is proudly funded by the RCH Foundation<\/a> and Caroline Auxiliary.<\/p>\n

If you are an RCH patient, you can purchase a copy on your next visit from the Family Hub on ground floor of the hospital at a reduced cost of $10.<\/p>\n
