Does exercise enhance the benefits of nutritional support on the biochemical markers of nutrition, anthropometry, and body composition in hemodialysis patients? A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exercise and nutritional support are effective strategies in hemodialysis patients who often face health issues like protein-energy wasting (PEW). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether combining exercise with nutritional support offers additional benefits for anthropometry, body composition, and biochemical markers of nutrition in hemodialysis patients.

Methods

This systematic review searched databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, until 14 February 2024 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials. Following screening and data extraction, quality assessment was conducted using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB2). The study was reported following PRISMA guidelines.

Results

Six studies comprising 199 male and female
