Effects of intradialytic nutrition on dialysis adequacy and fatigue in hemodialysis patients: a randomized crossover study.

Paper B Peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

This small trial tested whether eating a standard meal during dialysis changes how tired people feel and how well dialysis cleans the blood. It took place at 2 dialysis centers in Türkiye. 36 people were randomly assigned and 32 finished. Each person had one period with food during dialysis and one period without, so each person was compared with themselves. The part of the abstract we have does not say how long each period lasted or what the trial found.
