| description | Background and Objectives: Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a common problem in dialysis centers and prevalent among dialysis patients. Methods: An interventional Study was conducted in the National Kidney Centre, Kathmandu, Nepal, for a period of 1 month. Among patients who were undergoing dialysis, 30 participants were selected randomly. The protein supplement (powder) was provided to the patients for one month after obtaining pre-test and then post-test was done among them to know the changes in the parameters. Results: The study revealed various parameters as albumin, urea, phosphorous and calcium to be significantly increased after protein supplementation. Conclusions: The protein supplement was found to be effective for haemodialysis patients. |
