Malnutrition is a serious problem with a negative impact on the quality of life and the
evolution of patients, contributing to an increase in morbidity, length of hospital stay …

Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those undergoing maintenance
dialysis, are prone to protein‐energy wasting (PEW), the latter of which can be ameliorated …

Objective To better define the prevalence of protein-energy wasting (PEW) in kidney disease
is poorly defined. Methods We performed a meta-analysis of PEW prevalence from …

The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and creatinine (Cr) index are indexes often used
as nutritional surrogates in patients receiving hemodialysis. However, few studies have …

Chronic conditions including non-communicable diseases have become increasingly
prevalent in the past decade. Proinflammatory cytokines are associated with the …

In patients with advanced (estimated glomerular filtration rate< 25 mL/min/1.73 m2) non-
dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) the optimal transition of care to renal …

Results: Across the three PA tertile groups, HGS was incrementally higher in the higher PA
tertiles (P< 0.001), maintaining this order in both male (r= 0.38, P< 0.001) and female …

Results GNRI had higher interobserver agreement (weighted κ-score 0.98) than MIS
(weighted κ-score 0.62). Longitudinally, a 1-unit increase in MIS was associated with a 0.41 …

Objective Nutritional status is a powerful predictor of survival in maintenance hemodialysis
patients but remains challenging to assess. We defined a new Protein Energy Wasting …

Objective To evaluate the role of bioimpedance-defined overhydration (BI-OH) parameters
in predicting the risk of mortality and cardiovascular (CV) events in patients undergoing …
