Amino acid supplements during dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding amino acid supplements during dialysis helps people with kidney failure. It may be an option if your doctor decides you need these supplements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have liver failure (your liver is not working).
- You do not have a muscle disease (like muscular dystrophy).
- You do not have a neurodegenerative disease (like Parkinson's or ALS).
