An update on nutrition in chronic kidney disease

Abstract: The prevalence of malnutrition in the course of chronic kidney disease has not changed recently and is still between 30 and 50%. About 10% of patients on maintenance dialysis show signs of severe malnutrition. Recent progress has been made on protein metabolism, the validation of new diagnostic tools, and the use of anabolic compounds. Large clinical trials have characterized the use of medications for renutrition, and international guidelines are currently updated. Neverthless, physicians will be mostly effic… Show more

“…The lack of a lower threshold level for mortality risk in the above study is also in contrast to studies in MHD patients, in which the association of PTH level with mortality was U-shaped [3,75]. A significant proportion of the higher mortality seen with lower PTH levels in MHD patients was, however, related to confounding by markers of malnutrition and inflammation [3], which themselves have been linked to higher mortality [76,77].…”

“…Whereas predialysis nutritional requirements are not different from those of healthy adults and allow for moderate protein intakes of 0.7-0.8 g/kg/day; in maintenance PD, these intakes are not enough to maintain good nutritional status and are associated with signs of malnutrition. 23 In general, both protein and energy requirements are greater in dialysis patients than in healthy persons. 24 The Dialysis Outcome Quality Initiative (DOQI) guidelines in nutrition have proposed that, based on nitrogen studies in HD and PD patients, a minimum of 1.2 g of protein/kg BW in HD and 1.3 g of protein/kg BW in PD represent the minimum daily intake to ensure a neutral protein balance.…”
