Types of intradialytic parenteral nutrition. Proportion of each component and the mixtures used among the 2425 patients receiving intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) are shown. The amino acids formula alone was the most commonly used (59.0%). Including the combination of amino acids with glucose or lipid emulsion, 91.3% of patients received IDPN containing amino acids (black arc with arrows at both ends). On the other hand, 29.6% of the patients received IDPN containing glucose (blue scattered arc with arrows), and only 17.5% received IDPN containing lipids (red arc with arrows). Abbreviations: AA, amino acids; Glu, glucose; LE, lipid emulsion
