The effects of zinc supplementation on body fat mass in hemodialysis patients: An open-label randomized controlled trial

Zinc deficiency is highly prevalent in HD patients. On the other hand, it remains unknown about the role of zinc in their nutritional status. We conducted an open-label randomized controlled trial. We investigated (i) the relationship between serum zinc levels and body composition and (ii) the effec...

We conducted an open-label randomized controlled trial. We investigated (i) the relationship between serum zinc levels and body composition and (ii) the effects of zinc supplementation on the composition of 48 HD patients with zinc deficiency. Serum zinc levels were significantly correlated with body fat weight (p
