Malnutrition-Inflammation Score and Endothelial Dysfunction in Hemodialysis Patients

Association of malnutrition-inflammation score, dialysis-malnutrition score and serum albumin with novel risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in hemodialysis patients

“…In this field, only Demir et al showed that patients with higher MIS had higher serum CRP and VCAM-1. 16 It has been shown that each 1-g/dL decrease in serum albumin was associated with a 7.2-fold increased mortality risk in HD patients. 15 Our study indicated that serum albumin, as an indicator of PEW, was significantly negatively correlated with serum concentrations of CRP and sICAM-1 and HD patients with lower serum albumin had higher serum CRP and sICAM-1.…”

Transition of care from pre-dialysis prelude to renal replacement therapy: the blueprints of emerging research in advanced chronic kidney disease

“…We suggest that a comprehensive scoring system be derived from the prelude data to determine the best timing, preparation, and modality, and to achieve the best outcomes for each individual patient with advanced CKD. Similar prognostic scores have been successfully created and validated including the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score [38][39][40], which is annually assessed as the standard of care across approximately 150 000 US dialysis patients in order to prognosticate nutritional status and outcomes of ESRD care [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

Effect of cholecalciferol replacement on vascular calcification and left ventricular mass index in dialysis patients

“…33,34 The effect of cholecalciferol treatment on malnutritioninflammation syndrome in dialysis patients is unknown. In the present study, a positive effect on nutrition and inflammation was observed for cholecalciferol treatment.…”
