Brief Summary

Chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients are vulnerable to develop protein energy malnutrition and make a notion that to maintain the nutritional status is of paramount importance in these patients. However, proteins intake from vegetarian and meat diet were observed to have different impacts on nutritional and inflammatory status, mineral homeostasis and its related hormones, and clinical outcomes in non-dialysis CKD patients. In here, we aim to investigate these impacts in CHD patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Statistical difference of serum biomarkers ( P value)

    The items scheduled to be evaluated in this study include serum albumin, pre-albumin, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, lipid profile, ferritin, transferrin, hs-CRP, Alk-P, iPTH, 25(OH)D3, intact \& C-terminal FGF23, Klotho and hepcidin levels. We'll collect the patient's serum data in plant diet group, and collect the serum data in animal diet group, then we'll compare the data in these two groups to see whether there is any difference between each item.
