Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is associated with mortality in patients with end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis. The correct diagnosis of PEW is extremely …

Objective Since its development, cumulative evidence has accumulated regarding the
prognostic value of the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS/Kalantar score) prognostic …

Background Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is found to play a role in skeletal muscle
homeostasis. Since the dysregulation of FABP4 and sarcopenia are both highly prevalent in …

In this study, we aimed to estimate the causal effect of normalized protein catabolic rate
(nPCR) on mortality among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the presence of time …

Introduction: Leptin is an adipokine secreted from adipocytes that mediate lipid metabolism
and inflammation. This cross‐sectional study investigated the relationship between serum …

Abstract Introduction Expanded hemodialysis (HDx) could provide clearance of larger
middle‐molecule uremic toxins. We compared the effect of hemodialysis with medium cut‐off …

Introduction: Medium cut-off (MCO) membranes may be able to remove middle-large uremic
toxins that are retained in the body, which has been linked to various risk factors including …

Objective To compare the all-cause mortality of aged and younger patients undergoing
maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) over the long or short term, and to identify independent …

Background & aims To verify the performance of Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) in the
evaluation of nutritional status and its relation with clinical outcomes. Methods Nutritional …

Background and aims Screening malnutrition, which is the most common complication in
hemodialysis patients, is extremely important for these patients. Malnutrition inflammation …
