Over ESRD patients have already started dialysis treatment. It can help patients with ESRD remove wastes, toxins and excess water from the body, meanwhile, can also lead to loss of protein and amino acids. Some related materials have shown that patients with ESRD who are on peritoneal dialysis, protein loss can be 5-10g, while the amino acid can be 1,2-4g. However, if patients with ESRD have peritonitis which can be commonly seen in some patients on peritoneal dialysis, protein loss may even represent 50% -100%. For patients with ESRD who are on hemodialysis, the amino acid can be 10-13g lost, causing malnutrition easy to pass.
