Nutrition check for hemodialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a simple body measurement combined with a blood test can help assess nutrition in people on hemodialysis. It aims to find a better way to check if you're getting enough nutrients.

This trial tests whether receiving extra nutrition during your dialysis sessions can help maintain or build muscle over time. It is for people on long-term hemodialysis who have very low urine output and a well-functioning access point (fistula).
This study tests whether a homemade nutrition drink can help people on dialysis who are losing muscle or weight (protein-energy wasting). You will take the drink regularly for a few weeks to see if it improves your lab results and energy levels.
This study measures how well a dialysis method called haemodiafiltration removes waste products from the blood, tracks how patients feel, and monitors sodium balance. It aims to improve treatment for people with kidney failure on dialysis.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
