Personalized Nutrition in Chronic Kidney Disease

Furthermore, many of the studies carried out to identify the most reliable biomarkers of malnutrition in dialysis were performed in populations on thrice-weekly ‘conventional’ hemodialysis and, while different strategies, including incremental dialysis, daily dialysis and nocturnal dialysis have been reported to improve nutritional status, the assessment of nutritional status is still based on conventional thrice-weekly hemodialysis (Spanner, Suri et al. 2003; Galland and Traeger 2004; Ipema, Struijk et al. 2016). Peritoneal dialysis and hemodiafiltration pose a further challenge to nutritional evaluation because of the loss of albumin in the dialysate (Guest 2013; Ikizler 2014; Johansson 2015; Vega, Quiroga et al. 2015; Rippe and Oberg 2016; Morena, Jaussent et al. 2017) .

For such sequestered toxin, the duration and frequency of dialysis may need to be increased to facilitate its whole-body elimination. Such seems to be the case with phosphate, another intracellular solute, slow nocturnal dialysis or short daily dialysis is highly effective in controlling serum phosphate [30–32]. Other study has found that peritoneal dialysis might be more effective on ADMA removal than HD and hemodiafiltration [33]. Finally, it should be noted that the presented data are based on the results of a single dialysis session for each investigated time schedule with a limited number of patients. Nevertheless, we found that ADMA behaved differently from solutes with comparable molecular weight, such as creatinine and urea, during HD.
From pathogenesis to novel therapies in primary hyperoxaluria

Home-based HD provides the ability to conduct more frequent or longer sessions, particularly when using nocturnal dialysis, and may optimize oxalate reduction and cardiovascular outcomes [51]. Home HD is now advocated as the method of choice in patients deemed suitable to undertake this therapy [52].
