Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
500mls ClinOleic 20% Intradialytic Parental Nutrition will be administered whilst each subject is undergoing routine thrice-weekly haemodialysis. The IDPN bag will be connected by a tube to the venous chamber of the dialysis machine and the IDPN solution will be infused over the 4 hour dialysis session. Patients will receive the IDPN infusion during each dialysis session (three times a week) for 12 weeks. Blood pressure, blood glucose and tryglceride levels will be monitored during the period of the intervention.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287819 0
The patients serum albumin level will be recorded when the monthly blood tests are taken (all haemodialysis patients ordinarilly have a monthly blood test which measures serum albumin level)

0, 1, 2, 3 and 6 months
Secondary outcome [2] 298881 0
Fasting blood samples will be taken to measure changes in appetite hormones such as acyl-ghrelin, leptin, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), cholecystokinin (CCK), peptide YY (pYY), neuropeptide Y (NPY), adiponectin, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Blood samples will be centrigfuged to obtain plasma which will be stored at -80C for batch analysis. Acyl-ghrelin, GLP-1, CCK, pYY and IGF-1 will be analysed at established laboratories in Adelaide. ELISA kits will be used for NPY, leptin and adiponectin.

Secondary outcome [3] 298882 0
Fasting blood samples will be taken to measure changes in inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) -2, IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a). Blood samples will be centrigfuged to obtain plasma which will be stored at -80C for batch analysis. Cytokine kits (ELISA) will be used for the analysis.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be screened to check they meet the inclusion criteria and then enrolled in study. Patients will be assigned a study number (sequentially) and allocated treatment according to the randomisation sequence generated.
The randomisation sequence will be concealed and the allocation of treatment will only be revealed once the study number has been allocated to the patient. In order to obtain the treatment allocation the study dietitian will contact the holder of the allocation schedule (off-site) via interstate phone call.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation sequence will be generated using www.randomisation.com
