Vegetarian diets can meet the higher protein needs of a dialysis patient.

Protein-enriched foods for vegetarians on a kidney diet may include:

Meat analogs (meat substitutes such as soy burgers, tofu, hot dogs and deli slices)
Soy products (tofu, tempeh)
Beans and lentils
Nuts and nut butter
Eggs and egg substitutes
Dairy products

Powder and liquid protein supplements may be an option for patients with who are unable to meet their protein needs by food alone.
