Hemodialysis patients have an unacceptably high death rate, so that one out of every 4 to 5 patients die each year. Almost half of all deaths are believed to be from heart disease. Because markers of malnutrition and inflammation such as low amount of blood protein (serum albumin \\<4.0 g/dL), rather than traditional risk factors, are among the strongest predictors of early death and because malnutrition-inflammation appears to be closely related to oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients, we would like to examine that hypotesis that treating malnutrition-inflammation-oxidation by mean of nutritional support may improve outcomes in them. Low serum albumin \\<4.0 g/dL is observed in almost half of all hemodialysis patients and appears associated with low appetite, wasting, inflammation, malfunction of the vessels, cardiovascular disease and several fold increase in mortality.\n\nWe hypothesize that the malnutrition-inflammation can be significantly corrected by a simple in-center oral nutritional support with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties combined with an appetite stimulant with anti-inflammatory properties, leading to improved clinical and nutritional outcome measures in hemodialysis patients. We have proposed to the National Institutes of Health a pilot/feasibility study where dialysis patients will have 50-50 chance of receiving real treatment or a fake version of it (placebo). This method is called randomization, and this study type is called "randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial" with two arms, a so-called 2x2 factorial design. Our proposed study has a low-priced but efficient operational system and will be performed in 8 to 10 DaVita dialysis clinics in Los Angles area. During this 2-year pilot/feasibility study, we will test whether our proposed nutritional and anti-inflammatory treatments are safe and can improve low serum albumin and other relevant outcomes in 100 hemodialysis patients. Subjects will be adult hemodialysis patients with a serum albumin \\<4.0 g/dL.\n\nThe nutritional support arm will include a combination of 2 oral nutritional supplements; i.e., Nepro™ (8 oz), tailored for malnourished hemodialysis patients; and a condensed anti-inflammatory module similar to Oxepa™ (2 oz), designed for sick patients with inflammation and oxidative stress; or their placebos. The appetite stimulating arm will include a medication known as "pentoxifylline" (also known as Trental™) and the dose will be 400 mg daily or its placebo.\n\nIf a patient qualifies and agrees to participate in the study, there will be one month of observations and tests, followed by 16 weeks of treatment, and then one additional month of observation at the end. Both interventions are administered thrice weekly during routine hemodialysis for 16 weeks. Nutritional, inflammatory and oxidative measures, vessel wall (endothelial) function, quality of life and other clinical measures will be obtained before, during, and after the intervention. The safety and tolerability of the treatments, the feasibility of the study design, and the measurability of the outcomes will be examined.\n\nWe hope that the successful completion of this pilot/feasibility study in our campus leads to design of a large-scale clinical trial at the national level to improve survival in dialysis patients using nutritional and anti-inflammatory treatments.\n\nFigure 1.
