Abstract
Protein-energy wasting occurs frequently during maintenance dialysis. Known aetiologies include a loss of nutrients during the haemodialysis procedure and anorexia. Providing energy and protein during dialysis improves metabolism; however, the benefits of long-term support are debated. Weiner and colleagues report convincing data with an intradialytic oral nutritional intervention using protein supplements.Entities:
