A proposed nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for protein-energy wasting in acute and chronic kidney disease.

An expert panel to review and develop standard terminologies and definitions related to wasting, cachexia, malnutrition, and inflammation in CKD and AKI recommends the term 'protein-energy wasting' for loss of body protein mass and fuel reserves.

A malnutrition-inflammation score is correlated with morbidity and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

The MIS appears to be a comprehensive scoring system with significant associations with prospective hospitalization and mortality, as well as measures of nutrition, inflammation, and anemia in MHD patients, and may be superior to the conventional SGA and the DMS as a predictor of dialysis outcome and an indicator of MICS.

National kidney foundation K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for nutrition in chronic renal failure.

  • J. Kopple
  • Medicine, Biology
    American Journal of Kidney Diseases
  • 2001
A number of the more prominent clinical practice guidelines for the adults are discussed, including the recommendation that the protein-energy nutritional status in patients with advanced chronic renal failure should be assessed by a panel of measures rather than by any single measure.

Survival predictability of time-varying indicators of bone disease in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Associations between high serum parathyroid hormone and increased death risk were masked by case-mix characteristics of MHD patients, and Administration of any dose of paricalcitol was associated with improved survival in time-varying models.

Association among SF36 quality of life measures and nutrition, hospitalization, and mortality in hemodialysis.

In patients on MHD the SF36 appears to have significant associations with measures of nutritional status, anemia, and clinical outcomes, including prospective hospitalization and mortality, even though obesity, unlike undernutrition, is not generally an indicator of poor outcome in MHD.

Reverse epidemiology of cardiovascular risk factors in maintenance dialysis patients.

An inverse association between conventional risk factors and clinical outcome in dialysis patients is found and it is possible that new standards or goals for such traditional risk factors as body mass, serum cholesterol, and blood pressure should be considered for these individuals.

Effect of ramipril vs amlodipine on renal outcomes in hypertensive nephrosclerosis: a randomized controlled trial.

Ramipril, compared with amlodipine, retards renal disease progression in patients with hypertensive renal disease and proteinuria and may offer benefit to patients without proteinuria.
