      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Eligible participants will be assigned to the two intervention and placebo groups after signing the informed consent form through random blocks of 4 people and in a one-to-one ratio using RAS software. The randomization process is performed by a statistician and patients and researchers will be blinded to the process. Individuals will be matched at the beginning of the study based on diet, sex, age, and duration of dialysis in each block, Blinding description: For this double-blind study, placebo and synbiotic capsules are coded A and B by the supplement provider. The codes are kept in a sealed envelope so that patients and researchers will be blinded by how they are assigned to the supplement or placebo and the study arms until the end of the study. Synbiotic and placebo capsules will be the same size, color, odor and packaging.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: During a 12-week intervention in hemodialysis patients, the intervention group received two synbiotic capsules daily, after lunch and dinner. Each synbiotic capsule (under the brand name GeriLact; Bio Fermentation Company, Tehran, Iran) contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus plantarus and Lactobacillus plantarum at a dose of 10(9) CFU  (10 to the power of 9 CFU) as a probiotic and 21 mg of fructooligosaccharide as a prebiotic. Intervention 2: In patients undergoing hemodialysis in the control group, two placebo capsules daily (Bio Fermentation Company, Tehran, Iran) after lunch and dinner (each capsule contains 350 mg of inulin, maltodextrin and all excipients in the synbiotic product except the active ingredient) Will receive. Synbiotic and placebo capsules will be the same size, color, odor and packaging.</i_freetext>
