Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk for mortality after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) compared with the general population. However, it is currently unknown whether the long-term SARS-CoV-2 humoral and cellular immune responses in patients receiving HD are comparable to individuals with normal kidney function.

Method: The prospective cohort study included 24 patients treated with maintenance HD and 27 non-renal controls with confirmed history of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The objective of the research presented in this paper was to investigate how different characteristics of whey protein microparticles (MWP) added to milk as fat replacers influence intermolecular interactions occurring with other milk proteins during homogenisation and heating. These interactions are responsible for the formation of heat-induced aggregates that influence the texture and sensory characteristics of the final product. The formation of heat-induced complexes was studied in non- and low-fat milk model systems, where microparticulated whey protein (MWP) was used as fat replacer.
