- Summary:
- Most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have intact and fully functional gastrointestinal systems. However, many of these patients become malnourished from inadequate intake of nutrients as the result of anorexia, frequent acute intercurrent illness, dietary restrictions, or nutrient losses into the dialysate. Evidence such as the finding that serum albumin levels appear to inversely correlate with mortality in a large population of dialysis patients suggests that poor nutrition may contribute to increasing the morbidity and mortality of HD patients. In view of these indications, nutritional supplements, referred to as intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN), have been administered intravenously during hemodialysis treatment in attempts to improve the nutritional status of these patients. The amount and composition of solutions administered during dialysis are adjusted according to the patient's estimated needs.
