The effect of protein-enriched snacks on serum albumin concentration in non-selected haemodialysis patients.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the intake of a protein-enriched snack during HD treatment, independently from baseline serum albumin level, could significantly increase their serum albumin levels. Serum albumin level is a powerful predictor of mortality; therefore, this simple and effective action could be of real interest to improve patients' outcomes.
