Background And Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) on different nutritional outcomes.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis for a "routinely collected data bank" in a multicenter cohort, conducted on consecutive malnourished or at-risk of malnutrition patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis who underwent IDPN with a three-in-one parenteral nutrition formula for a period ≥ 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was the mean change in the malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) score between baseline and the last follow-up visit on IDPN.
Trial design of the MOTheR HDx study: a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized study to explore the morbidity and mortality in patients dialyzed with the Theranova HDx in comparison with online hemodiafiltration.

Background: Dialysis patients have been maintaining a high rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. For this reason, it is to introduce necessary new technical advances in clinical practice. There is a relation between toxins retention and inflammation, mortality and morbidity.

- - This study investigated protein-energy wasting (PEW) among dialysis patients in Catalonia, Spain, utilizing a new online tool called Nutrendial for quick assessments of nutritional status.
- - The findings revealed a PEW prevalence of 23.3%, with a higher rate in hemodialysis patients (26%) compared to peritoneal dialysis (10.2%), and identified Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) as the most effective measure for diagnosing PEW.
- - The tool's results indicated low nutritional intervention for PEW patients (14%), highlighting the potential for healthcare professionals to better assess and address nutritional needs in the dialysis population.
Chronic transfusion reduces the risk of recurrent stroke in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) but leads to iron loading. Management of transfusional iron overload in SCA has been reported as suboptimal [1], but studies characterizing monitoring and treatment practices for iron overload in children with SCA, particularly in recent years with the expansion of chelator options, are lacking. We investigated the degree of iron loading and treatment practices of 161 children with SCA receiving transfusions for a history of stroke who participated in the Stroke with Transfusions Changing to Hydroxyurea (SWiTCH) trial.

Study Design: Children (N=148; mean age, 13.0 years) with SCA, receiving chronic transfusions (average, 7 years), underwent abdominal sonography at 25 institutions.
