Differences and Effects of Metabolic Fate of Individual Amino Acid Loss in High-Efficiency Hemodialysis and Hemodiafiltration

The objective of the study was to quantify the loss and arterial blood concentration of the three main classes of amino acids (AAs) —nonessential amino acids (NEAAs), essential amino acids (EAAs), and branched-chain amino acids—as resulting from high-efficiency hemodialysis (HED) and hemodiafiltration (HDF). We moreover aimed to identify the different fates and metabolic effects manifested in patients undergoing hemodialysis and the consequences on body composition and influence of nutritional decline into protein energy wasting.
