Estimation of intake of zinc, copper and iron in the diet of patients with chronic renal failure treated by haemodialysis.
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.
