Intra Dialytic Parenteral Nutrition and Nutritional Gap Nutritional Gap Identified by Indirect Calorimetry

Indirect Calorimetry (Q-NRG Metabolic Monitor, COSMED) is performed to determine the Resting Energy Expenditure before hemodialysis.

Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA101/BIVA, Akern) is used to analyse the body composition (Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, Phase Angle).

The Nutritional assessments consist of a dietary anamnesis and a 3-day nutritional diary to determine the nutritional (caloric and protein) intake of the participants.
