Assessing cognitive dysfunction in the hemodialysis population
… with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis treatment experience cognitive impairment due to a variety of risk factors; most of which stem from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the dialysis process itself. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in cognitive functioning …

Efficacy of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation in hemodialysis patients
Patients with renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) therapy suffer from a number of co-morbidities including skeletal muscle loss, reduced physical function, a significantly increased fall risk, and reduced quality of life (QOL). Therefore, interventions to combat these …

Impact of diastolic dysfunction on physical function and body composition in maintenance hemodialysis patients
… complications are the main cause of death in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Although metrics related to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) such as ejection fraction (EF) are commonly used to predict adverse CV outcomes, LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) measures may provide …

Regulation of postprandial protein metabolism after food ingestion and exercise
… metabolic responses to mixed meal ingestion in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. We observed that basal rates of muscle protein synthesis were ~ 2.5 fold elevated in MHD patients when compared to controls; suggesting prolonged post-dialysis hypercatabolism. Furthermore, protein-dense …
