Multimodal Therapeutic Approach in Undernourished Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients (AMERICANO)

Phase 3
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Failure
Interventions
Other: training on ergonomic bicycle
Drug: Oral nutritional supplementation
Drug: n3 polyunsaturated fatty acid
Registration Number
NCT02418065
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate a 3 months integrated multimodal therapeutic approach including exercise training program with ergocycle during dialysis sessions, oral nutritional supplementation, omega 3 and androgen, on effort tolerance and quality of life of under-nourish maintenance hemodialysis Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patient.
