Intradialytic protein ingestion and exercise do not compromise uremic toxin removal throughout hemodialysis

Dietary protein and physical activity interventions are increasingly implemented during hemodialysis to support muscle maintenance in patients with end-stage renal disease. Though muscle maintenance is important, adequate removal of uremic toxins throughout hemodialysis is the primary concern for patients. It remains to be established whether intradialytic protein ingestion and/or exercise modulate uremic toxin removal during hemodialysis.
