Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a common phenomenon in maintenance dialysis (MD) patients and a risk factor for poor quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality, including cardiovascular death, in these individuals. The association between undernutrition and adverse outcome in MD
OBJECTIVE
Malnutrition is highly prevalent in Malaysian dialysis patients and there is a need for a valid screening tool for early identification and management. This cross-sectional study aims to examine the sensitivity of the Dialysis Malnutrition Score (DMS) and Malnutrition Inflammation Score
OBJECTIVE
Both iron deficiency and chronic inflammation are highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The effect of intravenous iron infusion on mineral metabolism in CKD may be modified by inflammation. Intravenous iron theraphy may reduce peripheral degradation, secretion,
It is known that many medical adverse events can be caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); however, epidemiologic evidence has not granted an affirmative relationship between NSAID use and the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed to investigate the relationship in a
BACKGROUND
Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) is a quantitative assessment tool based on Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and predicts mortality and morbidity in maintenance hemodialysis patients. However, there are not enough data about the use of MIS in peritoneal dialysis (PD). In this
Patients on haemodialysis (HD) have a high prevalence of 25-OH-vitamin D (25-OH-D)deficiency. Secondary hyperparathyroidismis a common condition in these patients, which is very important to control. 25-OH-D is involved in regulating calcium homeostasis. As such, appropriate levels of this vitamin
OBJECTIVE
Bacterial-derived DNA fragments (BDNAs) have been shown to be present in dialysis fluid, to pass through dialyzer membranes, and to induce IL-6 (IL-6) in mononuclear cells. The present study aimed at assessing the eventual presence of BDNAs in the blood of hemodialysis (HD) patients and if
BACKGROUND
The malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) is an indicator of malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome and an outcome-predictor in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. However, its utility in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and its association with the Charlson comorbidity index
OBJECTIVE
Depression, the most common psychological disorder among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is associated with poor survival. The prevalence of depression and its relation with the malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome (MICS) have not yet been clearly defined in Chinese
UNASSIGNED
Regarding to the complications of malnutrition in dialysis patients, using an easy and reliable method for evaluating of malnutrition is important in patients with the end-stage renal disease. Based on the effect of inflammatory factors in malnutrition, A new scale has been designed which
OBJECTIVE
Subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are exposed to increased morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events. The primary underlying mechanism has been suggested as accelerated atherosclerosis in these patients. Our aim was to compare the atherosclerotic inflammation and
Patients returning to hemodialysis (HD) after failure of their kidney transplant suffer from high morbidity and mortality rates. It is common practice to keep failed kidney transplants in place. It is not known if these failed kidney transplants induce an inflammatory state that contributes to
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication in patients with diabetes, and most of them need renal replacement therapy such as haemodialysis (HD). These patients have a high tendency to develop infections and exhibit anomalies in the immune system. The objective of this study was to assess
(1) Background: Malnutrition is prevalent in hemodialysis (HD) patients and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of malnutrition using the malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) and phase angle (PhA) and compare their
BACKGROUND
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Recent studies have indicated that non-traditional risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction (ED), chronic inflammation and protein-energy wasting (PEW) may contribute significantly to the
