Malnutrition is prevalent in chronic hemodialysis patients and is related to multiple factors;
the hemodialysis procedure itself has been suggested as a catabolic factor. To examine the
possible role of hemodialysis on energy metabolism, resting energy expenditure and
respiratory quotient in ten chronic hemodialysis patients was measured in this study, using a
whole-room indirect calorimeter. Measurements were done continuously: for 2 h before
hemodialysis, during 4 h of hemodialysis, for 2 h after hemodialysis, and separately on a …
