Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
is associated with an increased death risk from cardiovascular diseases. However, while …

A higher body mass index (BMI) is a predictor of better survival in hemodialysis patients,
although the relative importance of body fat and lean mass has not been examined in the …

Adipose tissue secretes a wide range of hormones named adipokines, and these may play a
role in obesity-related inflammation. Adiponectin is an exceptional adipokine because low …

Because the prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in recent years, one of the
key targets of public health is obesity and its associated pathological conditions. Obesity …

and anti-atherogenic properties, which is generally associated with a beneficial …

Background: Larger body size is associated with greater survival in maintenance
hemodialysis (MHD) patients. It is not clear how lean body mass (LBM) and fat mass (FM) …

Objective: Leptin, secreted from adipose tissue, regulates food intake, energy expenditure,
and immune function. It is unknown whether leptin predicts mortality in patients with chronic …
