Background and study aims
Hemodialysis (HD) is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. HD causes an inflammatory effect which decreases the appetite, increases certain gastrointestinal (digestive system) symptoms and consequently the patients consume fewer nutrients, increasing the risk of developing protein energy wasting (reduced body protein and fat mass). This could be treated and even prevented with oral nutritional supplementation containing extra protein and calories. It’s been suggested that oral supplementation during HD treatment, called intradialytic oral nutrition supplementation (ION), can improve survival. Despite the proposed benefits, health personnel see ION as a risk factor for many adverse events such as intradialytic hypotension (low blood pressure) and other gastrointestinal and adverse events like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and infections. The prevalence of these events has been little studied, and health personnel in HD units should not base their decision not to give ION based on this limited evidence. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the safety of ION over intradialytic hypotension and its effectiveness over some clinical nutritional markers in comparison with standard supplementation (at home).
Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 to 65 who are receiving chronic (long-term) HD treatment
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to one of two group. Both groups consume a liquid supplement containing extra protein and calories. The intervention group consume the supplement at minutes 60-75 and 210-225 of a HD session. The control group consume two portions of the supplement at home on a specific schedule on a non-HD day. The incidence of intradialytic hypotension is assessed during HD sessions.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
This study may increase the limited general knowledge of the safety and effectiveness of ION, and may increase health personnel's confidence for giving supplements during HD treatment and therefore prevent or treat protein energy wasting in HD patients. Possible benefits for participants include improvement in protein levels, sensation of general wellness, and improvements in appetite and calorie-protein intake. Risks for patients include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, aspiration and hypotension during HD treatment.

| Study objectives | Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are in risk for developing Protein Energy Wasting (PEW) which increases risk for morbidity and mortality. PEW has many components in which energy consumption is crucial. Intradialytic supplementation is an effective anabolic strategy for improving albumin, prealbulmin and protein homeostasis. Despite these effective outcomes, health personnel perceive intradialytic supplementation as a risk for intradialytic hypotension and other gastrointestinal complications. Study hypotheses: 1. Muscular strength, energy consumption and phase angle will increase at least 10% of their basal value after 3 months of intervention with a specific renal supplement. 2. There won't be more than 10% on the increase of the presence of intradialytic hypotension after intervention. |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Hemodialysis |
| Intervention | Simple random allocation according to shift-day treatment for hemodialysis (HD) session. Both groups will consume a liquid renal specific supplement which grants 19 grams of protein and 434 Kcal per 237 ml: 1. The intervention group will consume 120 ml at minutes 60-75 and 210-225 of a hemodialysis session. 2. The control group will consume two portions of 120 ml at home on a specific schedule on a non-HD day. |
