Effects of Nutritional Supplementation on Fatigue, and Autonomic and Immune Dysfunction in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial

Abstract: BackgroundFatigue is a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis treatment. We hypothesized that multinutritional support would improve quality of life, fatigue symptoms, and potential quantitative measures including endocrine, immune and autonomic functions in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis.MethodsTwo hundred and two hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to receive active treatment (containing vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, v… Show more

“…Therefore, future studies should focus on identifying these factors as predictors of poor prognosis in ESRD. Since some studies ( 40 - 42 ) have already identified the importance of fatigue in terms of ESRD prognosis, it is also vital to identify possible mechanisms through which fatigue have toxic impact. It is not well known which interventions should focus on either physical fatigue, mental fatigue, or both.…”

“…In this study, the intake of Euglena improved the autonomic nervous system balance, thereby improving irritability and tension as well as the quality of daily sleep. Previous studies have evaluated improvements in autonomic nervous system activity after nutritional supplementation in healthy subjects [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. When stress is transmitted to the hypothalamus in the brain, a signal is sent to excite the autonomic nervous system, depending on the type of stress, and a command is simultaneously sent to the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid, adrenal medulla, and adrenal cortex via the release of hormones.…”
