may also stimulate oxidative stress, inflammation, thrombosis, arterial stiffness …

Leptin is a product of the obese (OB) gene secreted by adipocytes in proportion to fat mass.
It decreases food intake and increases energy expenditure by affecting the balance between …

Background Haemodialysis (HD) patients are predisposed to dysregulated fluid balance
leading to extracellular water (ECW) expansion. Fluid overload has been closely linked with …

Objective Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO) are linked to unfavorable prognosis in
maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) populations. We tested whether nonobese sarcopenia …

The high incidence of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) warrants an
accurate evaluation of risk aimed at reducing the burden of disease and its consequences …

Background & aims The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been reported as a useful
predictor of prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, demonstrating GNRI …

We have previously reported that obesity attenuates pulmonary inflammation in both
patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and in mouse models of the …

Objective We hypothesize that longitudinal changes in phase angle (PA) have independent
associations with changes in inflammatory parameters over time and consequently with long …

The importance of cardiometabolic factors in the inception and progression of
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is increasingly being recognized. Beyond diabetes …

Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis may have a modified
appetite due to several factors including a lack of uremic toxins elimination. The use of …
