Geriatric nutritional risk index, muscle function, quality of life and clinical outcome in hemodialysis patients
I Beberashvili, A Azar, I Sinuani, G Shapiro, L Feldman… - Clinical nutrition, 2016 - Elsevier
Background & aims The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been reported as a useful
predictor of prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, demonstrating GNRI
less than 90 as a marker of a poorer nutritional status and significantly increased mortality.
We tested whether GNRI as a whole associated stronger with clinical and laboratory
surrogates of nutrition and inflammation, muscle function, health-related quality of life (QoL),
and predicts all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in this population …
