Malnutrition in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract: Malnutrition is a major issue in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), adversely affecting morbidity, mortality, functional activity and patients’ quality of life. Our knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms of malnutrition in patients with CKD, including endstage renal disease, has been improved. This has led to the development of clinical practice guidelines for nutritional care in CKD which provide a framework for the nutritional issues facing patients and physiccians. Extensive research in the field o… Show more

“…This would have deleterious effects by contributing to malnutrition via a reduced lean body mass (Chung et al . ). Saturated fat consumption in all participants exceeded the recommendations, with food sources of saturated fat predominately being full fat dairy foods (milk, cheese and butter) and red meat.…”

“…Serum albumin is the most commonly used and reliable nutritional marker in CKD and ESRD patients, and protein-rich foods are the main source of dietary phosphate [ 30 ]. Serum creatinine is a useful biochemical marker for assessing nutritional status in maintenance dialysis patients, as well [ 31 ]. Therefore, a low phosphate level is considered to represent poor nutritional status.…”

“…Another interesting finding of this study concerns the significant reduction in BMI based on CKD progression. This behavior is explained not only by the fact that patient weight is included in the calculation of the GFR but also given the malnutrition associated with CKD 13,20,21 . In fact, the progressive decrease of BMI might reduce dyslipidemia or glucose levels, thereby promoting a regression of underlying fatty liver disease that contributes to decreased aminotransferase levels 22 .…”
