Caroline Passey, Specialist Renal Dietitian at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.
Caroline has been a renal dietitian in Portsmouth since 1981 and developed a particular interest in the use of low protein diets to slow progression of CKD. In 1996, she was awarded an NHS Research Studentship to study for a PhD and used this to examine the effect of changing the protein from 70% animal protein to 70% vegetable protein within a LPD. This demonstrated that food was affecting the acid base balance of the blood. Since 2004 she has been learning about acid base balance and have been gingerly introducing a low acid diet into the treatment of CKD. This has improved patient well-being and for some patients led to regression of CKD.
