title: Estimation of intake of zinc, copper and iron in the diet of patients with chronic renal failure treated by haemodialysis.
abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse the dietary zinc, copper and iron intakes in haemodialysis patients and in healthy controls. A statistically significant lower intake of these elements was observed in the patients group. In particular, the copper intake was extremely low in that group, not reaching 40% of the recommended value.
