Welcome to the Association of Nephrology Dietitians website

The Canadian Association of Nephrology Dietitians (formerly Association of Nephrology Dietitians) is a Network of Dietitians of Canada and consists of Registered Dietitians who provide renal nutrition therapy interventions and counseling in hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis and chronic kidney disease clinics.

Individuals living with kidney disease can access a dietitian specializing in renal nutrition by referral from a nephrologist.

The Canadian Association of Nephrology Dietitians (CAND) network, is open to all Dietitians of Canada members who are interested in renal nutrition. Our major goals are education and networking. We are a dynamic team and welcome new members! Our purpose is to offer leadership, direction and education to help members provide quality renal nutrition therapy.  Our group includes renal dietitians working with chronic kidney disease (stages 1-5), adult and pediatric dialysis, and kidney transplant patients.
