What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the use of a high protein egg white pudding as a nutritional supplement for people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. The study aims to find out if giving this egg white pudding after dialysis is practical and whether it can improve blood protein levels, frailty, dietary intake, and other blood markers compared to a standard supplement called Ensure Plus. This trial is conducted by Seven Oaks Hospital Chronic Disease Innovation Centre. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the egg white protein pudding or Ensure Plus at the end of their dialysis treatments three times a week for 12 weeks. Both supplements are dietary and taken during the dialysis sessions. The study collects data during this 12-week intervention period to evaluate the effects of the two supplements. During the study, participants will be monitored for their ability to stay in the trial, adherence to the supplements, and health measures such as hand grip strength, walking speed, balance, and blood levels including serum albumin and electrolytes. These assessments occur at the end of the 12 weeks. The trial also tracks recruitment and follow-up rates to evaluate feasibility. Overall, participants are involved in regular supplement intake and health testing during dialysis over three months.
