A member asked:
Can parenteral amiboacid be given post dialysis to a ckd patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, Amino Acids can be given on dialysis. Unfortunately medicare will not cover it. Usually it is reserved for patient's with a low albumin. There is not good data about improving outcomes other than Albumin levels.
