- Abstract
Background. Muscle cramp is a common complication of haemodialysis. The exact mechanism of this complication is still unknown. Many approaches have been used to relieve the muscle cramping but have had variable effects. One of the possible mechanisms of haemodialysis‐associated muscle cramps (HAMC) is the disturbance of muscle energy metabolism. Creatine monohydrate can enhance muscle metabolism. We evaluated the clinical effect of creatine monohydrate on HAMC.
