Intradialytic nutrition and exercise: convenience versus efficacy
Jeong et al. reported the results of a randomized controlled trial in patients on hemodialysis in which intradialytic protein supplementation, with or without exercise, failed to show any beneficial effect on physical function, vascular health, and nutritional markers.
