Acetate from acetic acid\u2013containing dialysate concentrate may promote inflammation and metabolic disturbances. We evaluated whether acetate-free dialysate prepared from a hydrochloric acid\u2013containing concentrate could improve nutritional status and muscle-related outcomes in chronic hemodialysis patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this single-center, single-blind, randomized crossover trial, adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis were assigned to acetate-free or acetate-containing dialysate for 6 months, followed by crossover to the alternate dialysate for an additional 6 months. The primary endpoint was serum prealbumin. Secondary endpoints included body composition assessed by bioimpedance spectroscopy, handgrip strength, 4-m gait speed, SARC-F score, serum albumin, and C-reactive protein. Outcomes were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models adjusted for period and treatment sequence, with patient included as a random effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty patients were included. The mean age was 68.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.4 years, and 72.4% were male. Prealbumin concentrations remained stable with acetate-containing dialysate, from 0.291\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.079 g\/l at baseline to 0.287\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.076 g\/l at month 6, and with acetate-free dialysate, from 0.294\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.085 to 0.279\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.074 g\/l. The dialysate-by-time interaction was not significant (P =\u00a0.386). Lean tissue index, fat tissue index, handgrip strength, 4-m gait speed, serum albumin, and C-reactive protein remained unchanged. Safety outcomes, including infectious and cardiovascular events and mortality, did not differ significantly between strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
