Augmentation of nutritional intakes in children receiving long-term hemodialysis treatment.
One of the major problems confronting children on long-term hemodialysis treatment is an inadequate intake of nutrients. The intake of calories, protein and minerals in children dialyzed for up to 3 years was documented in this study to be low. A simple method of augmenting the nutritional intake that has wide patient acceptibility is presented.
