Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Protein Food Snack

Arm Description

Provide a high protein food snack the first 2 weeks of each month for 6 months. Each participant will receive an 8 ounce food snack after dialysis for a total of 6 food snacks for each month.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Serum albumin
Change in grams of albumin per deciliter of blood (g/dL). Pre-, during, and 3-months post-intervention will complete monthly serum albumin lab draws.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Serum phosphorus
change in milligrams of phosphorus per deciliter of blood (mg/dL). Pre-, during, and 3-months post-intervention will complete monthly serum phosphorus lab draws.
Diet Intake
This is a 9-item survey, "Diet Intake Survey", that obtains information about participants' appetites and dietary behaviors. Pre-, during, and 3-months post-intervention will complete monthly surveys on participants' diet habits to assess the impact the food snack has on total protein to calories.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study team aims to provide a food snack that is high in protein (30 g) for two weeks each month (6 treatments per patient per month) for 6 consecutive months, post-dialysis treatment, to in-center hemodialysis patients of all vintages and with all levels and types of comorbidities. The study team will compare changes in serum albumin during the intervention (6 months) using the patients' own serum albumin results that are collected for three months prior to and three months after the intervention. Additionally, the study team will determine participants' dietary habits and appetite pre-, during and post-intervention.
