Nutrition project in a remote Australian aboriginal community

Much of the ill health of Australian indigenous populations can be attributed to diet-related diseases. This community nutrition project is part of a wider renal screening and prevention program based in the Umoona aboriginal community in Coober Pedy in South Australia's far north. The nutrition project facilitates the capacity of the Umoona aboriginal community to identify and redress nutrition-related issues considered important in improving their overall health status. Project nutritionists developed and implemented a specialized nutrition training program with the Umoona aboriginal health workers. The nutritionists were responsive to requests from community groups to provide nutrition expertise and support in program development. Individual nutrition counseling for adults and children taking part in renal health screening was also provided. The aboriginal health workers reported increased nutritional knowledge and confidence in addressing nutrition-related issues within the community after nutrition training. Individual consultations and partnerships formed with community groups have increased awareness and prompted action to address the importance of nutrition in renal disease and overall health in the Umoona community. © 2002 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.

Arginine and nutrition in renal disease

The physiological significance of arginine metabolism extends far beyond its incorporation as an amino acid into proteins. In addition to its effects when administered as a dietary supplement, the end-products of arginine metabolism by the enzymes arginase, arginine decarboxylase (ADC), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been shown to play roles in wound healing, immune response, tumor biology, and the regulation of inflammation. These properties make arginine metabolism a significant concern in defining and, likely, treating renal disease.

Nutrition in Renal Disease, Proceedings of a Conference Held at the University of Manchester on June 29th and 30th, 1967.

This book is the report of proceedings of a conference held at the University of Manchester, England, in June 1967. The objective of the symposium was to gather together experts in the area of the influence of diet on the course of renal failure for the purpose of reviewing the current state of the art. The participants represented a worldwide distribution of physicians, nutritionists, dieticians, and food manufacturers. The format of the book follows that of the symposium. Formal papers are followed by lively discussions which highlight points of controversy and areas where clinical and experimental data are scanty. The initial portion of the book deals with the normal protein requirements of man, aberrations of nutritional status which accompany renal failure, and rational dietary regimes for the management of patients with chronic renal failure. Subsequent sections deal with alterations of acid-base status, electrolyte balance, and hematologic complications of chronic renal

Nutrition in Renal Disease.

This book presents a series of papers delivered by the various participants in a conference on nutrition and renal disease held at the University of Manchester in 1967; it is edited by G. M. Berlyne. The papers presented covered various facets of nutrition and dietary management in renal disease, including a very comprehensive section on basic protein and nitrogen metabolism in the patient with renal disease. The articles are contributed by an outstanding panel of experts in this field who are working very actively in all aspects of nutrition and dietary management of patients with renal disease. It brings together in one volume, material which is widely scattered in the literature. It has the usual disadvantages of all conference proceedings, some overlapping and no attempt to bring together the material presented in a reasonable and unified formulation for the average reader. It is an excellent reference source for physicians and
