Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare protein supplements in patients with kidney failure on dialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To determine whether the supplementation of egg white protein pudding in a population of individuals with kidney failure on dialysis is feasible. * To determine whether egg white protein pudding supplementation improves serum albumin similar to other standard nutritional supplements. * To determine the effects of the egg white protein pudding on frailty measures, dietary intakes and analytes in the blood. Participants will receive either the egg white pudding (experimental) or control (Ensure plus) at the end of their dialysis treatments 3-days per week for 12 weeks.
