Objectives The aims of this study were to develop and validate a resting energy expenditure
(REE) predictive equation in a cohort of patients on dialysis and to test the accuracy of two …

Background Determination of resting energy expenditure (REE) is an important step for the
nutritional and medical care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods such as …

Protein–energy malnutrition (PEM) is highly prevalent among peritoneal dialysis (PD)
patients and is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality. A wide range of factors can lead …

Background Energy balance (EB) is important when assessing nutritional status. EB has
never been assessed in haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The …

Malnutrition and inflammation are the most important causes of cardiovascular disease in
hemodialysis patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of increase in …

Background/Aims: Malnutrition is a serious complication in dialysis patients that develops
slowly but steadily. Cross-sectional studies may not adequately characterize this …

Background. Energy requirements must be estimated before nutritional care can be
provided for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). However, the recommended caloric …

Evidence based guidelines for medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in chronic kidney disease
(CKD) recommend a range of caloric levels, dependent on age and level of kidney function …

Malnutrition is present in up to 48% of chronic kidney disease patients on the initiation of
renal replacement therapy (dialysis) 1. At this time, malnutrition is an independent and …
