OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity-related energy expenditure
(AEE) of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and to compare it with that of healthy …

OBJECTIVE: To determine physical activity patterns in chronic hemodialysis patients with a
specific emphasis on the difference between dialysis and nondialysis days. DESIGN: A …

The accurate estimation of total daily energy expenditure (TEE) in chronic kidney patients is
essential to allow the provision of nutritional requirements; however, it remains a challenge …

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the factors that affect the resting energy expenditure
(REE) and nutritional status of hemodialysis patients, and to assess any differences with …

Background: Studies that examined dietary energy requirements (DERs) of patients
undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) have shown mixed results. Many studies …

Energy intake, resting energy expenditure, and energy expended for physical activity
(EEPA) are components of energy balance that may be disrupted by a number of disorders …

Background. Results of physical performance tests may not reflect the level of habitual
physical activity and health status of the dialysis patients. The aim of our study was to assess …

Energy expenditure in patients with chronic renal failure. Although nondialyzed, chronically
uremic patients and patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis often show evidence for …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Studies show that inflammation can contribute to an
increase in resting energy expenditure in patients with chronic kidney disease; however …
