nutrition in esrd

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has always been a complicated global challenge, ranking as the 12th leading cause of death worldwide. Hemodialysis, being one of the most opted renal replacement therapies (RRTs) for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), still possesses some limitations in preventing complications, such as malnutrition and mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD). While efforts have focused on controlling CKD-MBD parameters like calcium and phosphate, less attention has been given to dietary interventions...

BACKGROUND: Roughly 10 -15% of global populace suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD). A major secondary disease that can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is obesity-associated kidney disease (ORG). Although clinical management strategies are currently available, morbidity and mortality rates are increasing. Thus, new solutions are needed. Intestinal permeability, systemic inflammation, and aberrant intestinal metabolites have all been linked to ORG. PURPOSE: ACT001 has anti-inflammatory, redox-regulatory and antitumour activities...

INTRODUCTION: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has become the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure in most developed and many developing countries. Strategies aimed at identifying potential modifiable risk factors for DKD are urgently needed. Here, we investigated the association between clusters of body fat and nutritional parameters with DKD in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of 184 participants with T2DM...

(1) Background: Kidney transplantation is widely recognized as the most effective method of treating end-stage renal disease. Immunosuppressive therapy plays a pivotal role in the treatment of kidney transplant patients, encompassing all patients (except identical twins), and is administered from organ transplantation until the end of its function. The aim of this systematic review is to identify the evidence of the association between immunosuppressive therapy and nutritional status of patients following kidney transplantation...

INTRODUCTION: The removal of low- and medium-molecular-weight proteins has been improved with online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) and hemodialysis using high-flux membranes; however, the outcomes of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing dialysis treatment are still worse than in the general population. α1-Microglobulin (α1-m), with a molecular weight of 33,000 Da, may contribute to dialysis-related disorders and mortality. However, the removal is insufficient even with current OL-HDF using the polysulfone (PS) membrane, which is common in Japan...

OBJECTIVE: Malnutrition commonly occurs in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Early detection of malnutrition could allow early interventions to prevent later complications. At present, there are not many biomarkers with high predictive value of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)-related malnutrition, especially for early malnutrition in hemodialysis patients, which needs more in-depth research. Therefore, we performed a cross-sectional study on 97 patients to identify biomarkers for malnutrition in hemodialysis patients...

OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia and osteoporosis substantially influence health and lifespan. However, the variables affecting skeletal muscle mass (SMM) or bone mineral density (BMD) remain unknown. DESIGN AND METHODS: From August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019, we conducted a single-center, observational cohort study with 291 Japanese adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis due to end-stage kidney disease, who had their femoral neck BMD measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry...

BACKGROUND: The number of frail patients of advanced age with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing hemodialysis is increasing globally. Here we evaluated a frailty screening program of ESKD patients starting hemodialysis, and subsequent multidisciplinary interventions. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study of ESKD patients in a hemodialysis program. Patients were evaluated for frailty (Fried frail phenotype) before and after a 12-month period...

BACKGROUND: The brain and kidney have similar microvascular structure, which makes them susceptible to certain common pathophysiological processes. In this study, we examined several indicators of kidney injury/function associated with cognitive function in older diabetic patients in the hope of finding effective markers for detecting cognitive impairment (CI). METHODS: A total of 2209 older participants (aged ≥60 years) from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed for the association between diabetes and CI using a multiple linear regression analysis model...

The complex and mutually influential connection between diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant focal point in the current healthcare landscape. Diabetes, a medical condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from impaired insulin action or secretion, has become a significant global epidemic. It poses considerable challenges to healthcare systems and affects millions of individuals worldwide. Concurrently, CKD, characterized by the gradual decline of kidney function, has become a persistent health challenge...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease is a widespread medical problem that leads to higher morbidity, mortality, and a decrease in the overall well-being of the general population. This is especially expressed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. Several variables could be used to evaluate those patients' well-being and mortality risk. One of them is the presence of residual urine output. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on 485 patients treated with maintenance haemodialysis...

OBJECTIVE: The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) practice facilitation program in the Frontier of Renal Outcome Modifications in Japan (FROM-J) study reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in patients with CKD. 10-year long-term survivors with CKD lived with serious complications, including end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and CVD. This study aimed to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in 10-year long-term CKD survivors and examine the predictors and determinants of clinical indices for measured QOL scores...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the quality of life among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and identify the influencing factors. METHODS: The study was conducted between March 2021 and December 2021 at the Peritoneal Dialysis Center of the Second Hospital affiliated with Harbin Medical University. A total of 148 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing PD were included. Demographic information, assessments of dialysis adequacy, biochemical evaluations, and the administration of the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were carried out...

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is one of the significant microvascular consequences of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a complex etiology and protracted course. In the early stages of DKD, the majority of patients experience an insidious onset and few overt clinical symptoms and indicators, but they are prone to develop end-stage renal disease in the later stage, which is life-threatening. The abnormal amino acid metabolism is tightly associated with the development of DKD, which involves several pathological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and immune response and is also closely related to autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, and iron death...

Nutrient imbalances during gestation are a risk factor for hypertension in offspring. Although the effects of prenatal nutritional deficiency on the development of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood have been extensively documented, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the precise role and functional significance of epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of hypertension. To this end, we integrated methylome and transcriptome data to identify potential salt-sensitive hypertension genes using the kidneys of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) pups exposed to a low-protein diet throughout their fetal life...

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a rapidly increasing health problem, and every year, about 2 million ESRD cases are reported worldwide. Hemodialysis (HD) is the vital renal reinstatement therapy for ESRD, and HD patterns play a crucial role in patients' health. Plasma metabolomics is the potential approach to understanding the HD process, effectiveness, and patterns. The lack of protein vitality is a primary problem for HD patients, and the quantities of amino acids intracellularly and in the blood are considered to be a symbolic index of protein metabolism and nutrition conditions...

Hemodialysis (HD) is a treatment for ensuring the survival of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, and nutrition care is integral to their management. We sent questionnaires to evaluate the total dialysis service capacity and nutrition services across all dialysis facilities (DF) in Bangladesh, with responses from 149 out of 166 active DFs. Survey results revealed that 49.7% of DFs operated two shifts, and 42.3% operated three shifts daily, with 74.5% holding between one and ten dialysis machines. Sixty-three percent of DFs served between one and 25 patients per week, and 77% of patients received twice-weekly dialysis...

The study was carried out to measure the glycemic index (GI) of an oral food supplement for people with CKD as well as on patients on maintenance dialysis.

This was a crossover randomized controlled study which enrolled 15 participants between the ages of 18 and 45 years. The participants were randomly allotted to one group that consumed either the reference food (27...

BACKGROUND: Poor sleep quality is a common issue among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who undergo dialysis. Nutritional habits are associated with sleep hygiene in patients undergoing dialysis. The objective of this study was to examine the potential correlation between nutritional status and sleep quality in individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 160 hemodialysis patients. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to measure food intake in participants...

The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a nutritional screening tool used for predicting mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This study investigated the cutoff values for the GNRI for predicting mortality in HD patients using Korean HD quality assessment data from 2015. To identify the optimal GNRI cutoff value, we used Harrell's C-index with multivariate Cox regression models. The highest value of C-index was identified as the cutoff value of GNRI for all-cause mortality in this population...
