In an attempt to improve the nutritional status of seven hemodialysed patients, 500 ml of a 5.5% nephrological essential amino acid solution (EAA) were administered during each dialysis session for 2 months. At the end of this treatment, a significant increase in albuminemia was found (p < 0.05). These results are an encouragement to continue this therapy, especially if it is kept in mind that the half-life of albumin is much shorter than the period of EAA administration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
