Approximately half of all dialysis patients have suboptimal nutritional intake, making dietary management critical. The best diet for kidney dialysis patients is a personalized plan that manages protein, fluid, and mineral intake based on individual needs.

Dialysis patients can lose a significant amount of amino acids during each treatment session, which may substantially contribute to protein malnutrition and weakness. This raises a critical question for many patients and caregivers: is amino acid good for dialysis patients and can supplementation effectively mitigate these losses?
