... that these patients would be in negative nitrogen balance and in fact, even nutritionally sound, nondiabetic patients enrolled in the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study developed subclinical signs of malnutrition. It is possible that the nutritional decline may have been more pronounced on longer duration...

Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) is a noninvasive method to measure body composition and estimate total body water (TBW), lean body mass (LBM) and body cell mass (BCM). Studies suggest...

...Lara Pupim; Pamela Kent; Raymond Hakim Malnutrition is common in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients and is strongly related to increased morbidity and mortality. Among the various approaches to treat malnutrition in this patient population, intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN...

...Martin Kuhlmann; Felix Schmidt; Hans Köhler Although malnutrition is frequently encountered in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, a clear method of treating this complication is still lacking. Failure of nutritional support regimens may be due to inadequate support of dietary needs. Therefore...

... of their meaning. If malnutrition in dialysis patients is a powerful predictor of death risk, and is amenable to corrective interventions that result in a reduction in the odds risk of death, then the zeal with which these laboratory tests have been embraced is appropriate. However, the assumption...

... with renal failure. As a result, the neutral nitrogen balance is compromised and malnutrition results. Glucocorticoids mediate these changes through the recently discovered ATP-dependent ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Therapy necessitates correction of the underlying acidosis either through adjustment...
