When is the best time for a dialysis patient to take renal vitamins?
Dialysis patients are instructed to take their renal vitamin once a day. For hemodialysis patients, renal vitamins are taken after dialysis. The reason is that vitamins B and C are water soluble and easily removed from the blood during dialysis if the vitamin is taken before the treatment.
If forgetting to take the renal vitamin is a problem, try to make a habit by taking it at the same time each day.
