In an attempt to improve the nutritional status of seven hemodialysed patients, 500 ml of a 5.5% nephrological essential amino acid solution (EAA) were administered during each dialysis session for 2 months. At the end of this treatment, a significant increase in albuminemia was found (p < 0.05). These results are an encouragement to continue this therapy, especially if it is kept in mind that the half-life of albumin is much shorter than the period of EAA administration.
