Comparison of nutrient loss during hemodialysis with infant formula, suggesting a potential dietary solution.
AbstractHemodialysis removes a wide range of water‑soluble nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements. This study compares the nutrient loss observed during hemodialysis with the nutrient composition of infant formula. The analysis demonstrates that many of the components lost through dialysis are present in infant formula, suggesting that infant formula may serve as a potential supplementary source for patients undergoing hemodialysis. These findings highlight a simple and practical approach to addressing nutrient depletion in dialysis patients.
