U.S., Nov. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07237997) titled 'Protein Supplementation During Dialysis (PROSED)' on July 18.
Brief Summary: When a patient has dialysis some nutrients are lost in the process. Nutritional losses include protein, trace elements (i.e. zinc, copper and selenium) and water-soluble vitamins (Vitamins C and B).
