Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nearly 800,000 people are affected by end-stage kidney disease, and among them, about 70% are on dialysis. Once patients are placed on dialysis, their quality of life is significantly altered, with substantial emphasis on the importance of nutrition and dietary restrictions. Understanding the role of nutrition and the microbiome in hemodialysis is of vital importance to help improve patient care and promote kidney health.
