As a dietitian providing MNT to patients with chronic kidney disease, I am always looking for ways to increase referrals.  Nephrologists often recognize the benefit of referring patients to receive MNT, but may not recognize the broad scope of benefits we have to offer, or may not clearly articulate the value to the patient.  This is a tool that lists all the benefits of seeing a dietitian and how making diet changes slows the progression of CKD.  I laminated (it is 2 pages, 1 page front and back, references included) and put in the exam rooms where patients are seen so that the nephrologists will see it and be reminded to refer patients, be more aware of various issues we can help their patients with and talking points when patients are resistant to accepting the dietitian referral.
