4CPS-100 Intradialytic parenteral nutrition effects on albumin levels in malnourished haemodialysis patients

Abstract

Malnutrition is one of the stron-gest predictors of mortality and morbidity in haemodialysis patients. Albumin levels are used as an indicator of its severity and concentrations under 3.8 g/dL indicate severe malnutrition. As first-line treatment, guidelines recommend nutritional counselling and oral nutrition supplements. Furthermore, parenteral nutrition during regular haemodialysis sessions, known as intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN), is an option for patients who can nottolerate oral or enteral routes for nutrition supplements.
