Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this work is to study the effects of oral protein-based supplements on nutritional status in hemodialysis patients

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent chronic condition and the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is expected to increase over the next few decades. In patients with CKD, especially in those with ESRD and undergoing maintenance dialysis therapy (MDT), a state of metabolic and nutritional derangements, more aptly called protein-energy wasting (PEW), caused by a combination of insufficient intake, uremic toxins, inflammation, and superimposed catabolism, plays a major role among the many risk factors that affect outcomes of CKD .

Oral nutritional supplement (ONS) is a simple and effective way to supplement energy and protein to malnourished patients on the basis of regular diet. Therefore, if the protein of regular diet in dialysis patients are not enough, they should be supplemented with (ONS) when appropriate. ;
