1. Introduction

Hemodialysis (HD) patients are a special population with many particularities in regard of nutrition, metabolism, inflammation and oxidative stress, morbidity, and mortality. Contacts with extracorporeal dialysis membranes generate inflammation and oxidative stress and the entire cascade of complications.
