Who can take part
- On dialysis for at least 3 months
- Age 20 or older
- Low protein level (albumin) in your blood, low body weight, or low protein intake from diet

This trial tests if a protein supplement during dialysis sessions can help people on maintenance dialysis maintain or improve their nutrition. It looks for participants who have been on dialysis for at least three months and are not severely malnourished.
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 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 taking probiotics (good bacteria) or synbiotics (probiotics plus fiber) can improve the nutritional health of people on dialysis. It may help those who struggle with nutrition while waiting for a kidney transplant.
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 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.
