To: Renal Dietitian, Nephrology Unit

Dear Dietitian,

I am referring Mrs. Sofia Alvarez, a 64-year-old patient with Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease, for dietetic support.

Mrs. Alvarez has a background of Type 2 Diabetes and hypertension. Recent blood tests revealed an eGFR of 42, a potassium level of 5.7, and a creatinine level of 1.9. She experiences fatigue and occasional nausea. Her diet includes frequent processed meats, high salt intake, and multiple daily cups of coffee.

She requires urgent dietary education to reduce potassium and sodium intake, as well as guidance on appropriate protein consumption to slow disease progression.

Please provide her with a structured renal diet plan and practical advice to support long-term kidney health.

Yours sincerely,
