First and foremost is to restrict salt intake to 4gms per day.
She should consume veg and egg proteins daily.
She should restrict daily fluid intake to ensure that her weight before the next dialysis must not increase more than 1kg.
She should do regular walks and light exercises daily as tolerated
All these measures will improve her health as well as BP control.
