Comparative Analysis of Tools for Assessment of Protein-Energy Wasting in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with chronic kidney disease have muscle wasting, sarcopenia, and cachexia that contribute to frailty and morbidity. The present study assessed the prevalence of protein-energy wasting in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease population and evaluated the validity of various nutritional assessment tools in diagnosing protein-energy wasting.

Materials and methods

All patients above 18 years undergoing dialysis for more than 3 months without any active infection or malignancy were included in our study. Data from anthropometric measurements, dietary assessment, and blood investigations were collected. Protein-energy wasting was assessed by the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism 2008 criteria. Diagnostic validity of the nutritional ass
