Nutrition and strength training

All participants will receive professional dietary guidance and a protein supplement. At the beginning and end of the intervention every participant will be part of a program consisting of: Test of muscle strength, blood samples, assessment of nutritional status, MRi scan, test of Quality of life by questionnaire and test of the ammonium metabolism. After one year readmissions will by registered. The intervention group will receive supervised training.
