Table 1

Therapeutic interventions for muscle wasting in hemodialysis patients.

Therapeutic targets	Therapeutic interventions
Muscle strength	Endurance exercise and resistance exercise
Insulin resistance	Endurance exercise, insulin sensitizers (e.g., Thiazolidinediones)
Metabolic acidosis	NaHCO3 supplement
Hypogonadism	Testosterone supplement (e.g., Nandrolone decanoate)
Malnutrition	Endurance exercise, nutritional supplements, megestrol acetate (for adult) cyprohetadine (for children)
