Is white chocolate allowed for dialysis patients?

White chocolate contains high levels of sugar and phosphorus. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that can quickly raise blood sugar levels. Phosphorus is a mineral that can accumulate in the blood of dialysis patients and lead to serious health problems, including bone disease and cardiovascular disease.

Dialysis patients need to be careful to limit their intake of sugar and phosphorus. White chocolate is a high-calorie food that contains no nutritional value for dialysis patients. It is best to avoid white chocolate and other high-sugar, high-phosphorus foods.
