Dietary acid load and markers of malnutrition, inflammation, and oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients.

Aims: The present study was conducted to examine the association between dietary acid load (DAL) and markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and malnutrition in a group of Iranian hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on individuals aged ≥18 years who were on HD at least 6 months before their enrollment in the study. A 4-day dietary recall was used for the evaluation of dietary intake.

Association between the dietary inflammatory index and markers of endothelial and systemic inflammation in hemodialysis patients.

Objectives: The current survey aimed to investigate the link between energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII) and risk factors for CVD including markers of endothelial and systemic inflammation in Iranian hemodialysis patients.

Methods: Patients on hemodialysis for at least 6 months prior to enrollment were considered eligible in this cross-sectional study. The usual dietary intakes of the hemodialysis individuals were examined through 4 non-consecutive days including 2 dialysis days and 2 non-dialysis days using a 24-h recall approach to calculate E-DII.

Hyperlipoproteinemia (a) and Phytoestrogen Therapy in Dialysis Patients: A Review.

Purpose: Hyperlipoproteinemia (a) is a prevalent complication in dialysis patients, with no valid treatment strategy. The aim of this narrative review was to investigate the clinical significance of hyperlipoproteinemia (a) and phytoestrogen therapy in dialysis patients.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of the published data was performed regarding the effects of phytoestrogen therapy on hyperlipoproteinemia (a) in dialysis patients.

The synergistic effects of four medicinal plant seeds and chelated minerals on the growth, immunity, and antioxidant capacity of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Trace minerals are essential for the normal functioning of all living organisms. In addition, the positive effects of several medicinal plants have been demonstrated in aquaculture. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of a mixture of medicinal plants and test the synergistic effects of medicinal plants and chelated minerals on fish growth and immunity.

Association between inflammatory potential of diet and markers of malnutrition in haemodialysis patients.

In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII) and a comprehensive profile of malnutrition in Iranian haemodialysis (HD) patients. In this cross-sectional study, 291 participants on HD for at least 6 months before enrollment were included. The current dietary intakes of participants were assessed using a 4-d diet diary-assisted recall, including 2 non-dialysis days and 2 dialysis days to calculate E-DII.
