This study tests whether adding a pea fibre supplement to your diet can help improve your health while you are on dialysis. It is a simple addition to your routine and may support your overall well-being.
This trial tests a special dialysis fluid with amino acids (building blocks of protein) to see if it helps improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who have low protein levels. If you qualify, it may help boost your nutrition.
This trial tests whether a special blend of probiotics and prebiotics (called a synbiotic) can improve gut health and reduce harmful waste products in the blood for people on hemodialysis.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) can help people with kidney failure on dialysis respond better to erythropoietin, a medicine that treats anemia (low red blood cells). If the probiotic works, it could reduce the need for high doses of this medicine and improve your energy levels.
