Barcajová, Nikola ; Tkáčová, Judita (advisor) ; Mokrejšová, Andrea (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the effects of a low-histamine diet on adult patients with reduced levels or function of the enzyme diaminoxidase (DAO). As the symptoms of histamine intolerance are often similar to an allergic reaction, correct diagnosis can be problematic. The most common step to relieve problems is to start an elimination diet, which is what we have designed for patients in the research for this bachelor thesis. The research hypothesis was that patients who underwent an elimination diet would experience an improvement in histamine intolerance symptoms. The research was conducted using a questionnaire, with half of the respondents being recruited from an allergy immunology centre and the other half via social networking sites. The condition was that the patients had DAO values < 10 U/ml. Four adult females were selected and provided with the necessary materials and instructions to follow during the diet. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part.The theoretical part summarizes all the relevant information to date regarding histamine intolerance, diamino oxidase and elimination diet. The practical part focuses on the evaluation of the results of the elimination diet. The results show that the majority of patients who underwent the diet experienced an improvement or...

Mokrejšová, Andrea ; Pejšová, Hana (advisor) ; Zakiyanov, Oskar (referee)
Nutritional therapy is very significant for dialysis patients. The basis of the diet in hemodialysis treatment is a sufficient energy intake, increased protein intake, which corresponds to the needs of the dialysis patient.

For this reason, it is more than desirable for patients to be provided with the possibility of regular nutritional education and consultation. This individual care is essential for improving the quality of the patient's life and adequate support for hemodialysis treatment. This work aims to evaluate the change in the composition of the diet of hemodialysis patients after regular nutritional education. In addition to the adjustment of eating habits, other anthropometric and laboratory parameters related to the nutritional status of dialysis patients were also monitored. Patients were divided into two groups, according to their preferences. The first monitored group recorded their meals by hand or electronically. Patients from the second control group did not record their diet, instead they tried to...
