Summary
This early-phase study tests whether taking amino acid supplements during dialysis can reduce fatigue, frailty, and improve thinking in people with end-stage kidney disease. Researchers will compare a single amino acid (valine) with a mix of essential amino acids in 28 patients. The goal is to see if these supplements can improve quality of life for those on long-term dialysis.
