Nutritional drink for people on dialysis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special drink with added protein-building blocks, omega-3 fats, and fiber. It aims to see if this drink can improve the nutrition of people on dialysis who are undernourished.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 20 or older.
- You've been on dialysis for more than three months.
- Your recent blood tests show you have low protein in your blood (albumin under 4.0), low body weight (BMI under 20), or you're not eating enough protein (nPCR under 0.8).
- You don't have a severe albumin deficiency (below 3.0), which is very low protein.
- You're not allergic to the ingredients in a special nutritional drink or powder with fish oil, fiber, and amino acids.
- You're not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you don't have a serious health condition like burn injury, recent major surgery, very abnormal liver tests, or active cancer.

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 a special peritoneal dialysis solution with amino acids (protein building blocks) to improve nutrition in people on CAPD who are malnourished. It might help boost your protein levels and overall health.
This study tests how well kidney patients tolerate a new oral nutrition supplement taken by mouth or through a feeding tube. It aims to see if it is acceptable for daily use over 28 days.
This study tests whether taking probiotics or synbiotics (supplements that support gut health) can improve nutritional status in people on regular hemodialysis. It may help you feel better and stay stronger if you are 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.
