Brief Summary

Chronic kidney disease patients with sarcopenic obesity are noted to have impairment in physical performance and reducing their quality of life, and the investigators also founded these patients are at higher risk of mortality. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that oral nutrition intervention could increase lean tissue mass in these patients and improve the clinical outcomes.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The subjects will be assigned to receive nutritional supplement consisting of one can of ReGen 18% (19.1 g protein, 425 Kcal) daily and standard care.

Dietary Supplement: ReGen 18%

Control

NO INTERVENTION

The subjects will be assigned to receive standard care alone.

Interventions
