ALB and nutritional deficiency disease: In an open RCT in 28 PD patients, randomized to receive a powdered egg-albumin protein supplement (30 g/day providing 22 g protein) vs. nutrition counselling over six months resulted in significantly improved serum albumin (2.64 ± 0.35 vs. 3.05 ± 0.72 g/dL), energy intake (1331 ± 342 vs. 1872 ± 698 kcal/day), protein intake (1.0 ± 0.3 vs. 1.7 ± 0.7 g/kg) and nPNA (1.00 ± 0.23 vs. 1.18 ± 0.35 g/kg/day) amongst the intervention group when compared to baseline measures, and frequency of moderate-severe malnutrition decreased 28% in the intervention vs. 6% in the control group [45].
