Dialysis patients get muscle boost from mealtime treatment
NCT ID NCT07254897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving extra nutrition during dialysis sessions helps people on long-term hemodialysis build muscle and manage blood pressure. Researchers will compare the effects of this special nutrition with usual care in 16 adults who have been on dialysis for at least three months. The goal is to see if this approach can improve muscle health without causing low blood pressure during treatment.
