 This study was supported by a philanthropic grant from Mr. Harold Simmons.

 This study was presented in part at the Spring Clinical Conference of the National Kidney Foundation, April 4–8, 2008, Dallas, Texas.

 Potential conflict of interest: D.S. and S.M.L. have been employees and/or executives of Pentec Health, the provider of the intradialytic parenteral nutrition that was used in this study.
