Abstract
Protein-energy wasting (PEW) has a prevalence between 18-75% in patients on hemodialysis (HD), it has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality, for which different therapeutic measures have been proposed, including the administration of intradialysis oral nutritional supplement; as it is controlled by the personnel of the dialysis units, it ensures adherence to it. The main objective of our study was to evaluate whether intradialysis oral protein supplementation achieves an improvement in nutritional status, determined by the increase in prealbumin and albumin levels and changes in the body composition of patients on hemodialysis.
