Combination of low body mass index and serum albumin level is associated with chronic kidney disease progression: the chronic kidney disease-research of outcomes in treatment and epidemiology (CKD-ROUTE) study

Abstract: This study suggests that combined effects of low BMI (<23.5 kg/m) and serum albumin level (<4 g/dL) are associated with CKD progression.

“…Reduced serum albumin levels have been shown to indicate malnutrition risk in people on haemodialysis; additionally, they serve as a powerful predictor of mortality risk in this population 21 . It has been proposed that factors causing low albumin levels, rather than hypoalbuminaemia per se, may be associated with high mortality and morbidity in people on haemodialysis 6 . For example, inflammation, infection, advanced age and hospitalizations have all been associated with hypoalbuminemia and are also associated with poor survival 14 .…”

“…Elevated malnutrition risk was associated with the presence of major comorbidities; reduced haemoglobin; elevated C‐reactive protein; and need for feeding assistance 5 . In that study, malnutrition risk was defined as BMI <23 kg/m 2 and/or serum albumin <3.8 g/L, thus capturing depletion of both somatic and visceral protein stores and permitting the inclusion of heavier individuals, many of whom have diabetes, a group previously excluded from the malnutrition risk definition 6 . This definition contrasts with that of the International Society for Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM), which requires the presence of abnormalities in three of the four following areas: serum chemistry measures, body mass, muscle mass measures and/or dietary 7 …”

“…Therefore, albumin itself plays an essential role in maintaining microcirculation in systemic tissues via the body- fluid movement, mainly between the vessels and interstitium [ 29 ]. To date, serum albumin concentration has reportedly been associated with CKD progression [ 30 ], prognosis in CKD patients [ 31 ], and trajectory of cognitive function in community-dwelling adults [ 32 ]. Moreover, the assessment of the cognitive function subscale of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life showed the possibility to have an association between cognitive function and serum albumin concentration in CKD patients, including those undergoing HD [ 33 ].…”

“…The combination of low BMI and hypoalbuminemia, capturing reduced somatic and visceral protein stores, has been shown to predict disease progression in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) [16]. Yet, it has been reported that using ISRNM criteria for diagnosis of PEW may result in an underestimate of malnutrition in HD patients [17].…”
