Summary

This study tests whether delivering specially designed meals can improve nutrition in elderly, low-income patients with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. Twenty-five participants will first eat their usual diet for 4 weeks, then receive personalized meals for another 4 weeks. Researchers will monitor how well patients follow the diet and any changes in their health.
