Objective: Trace elements deficiency is common among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients due to excessive loss during dialysis and the lower intake secondary to loss of appetite. Selenium (Se) is a trace element that plays an important role in the radical scavenging system and helps the body defend against oxidative stress. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Se supplementation on lipid profile, anemia, and inflammation indices in ESRD patients.

- - Trace element deficiency, particularly selenium (Se), is prevalent in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients due to dialysis and reduced appetite, leading to serious health issues.
- - Se plays a crucial role in defending against oxidative stress, and its deficiency can lead to complications like cardiovascular disease, bone loss, elevated uric acid, and anemia, which overlap with ESRD issues.
- - The article emphasizes the need for further research to clarify whether Se deficiency is a primary cause of ESRD complications and to explore how Se supplementation might help alleviate these problems through well-designed clinical trials.
