This study aimed to assess muscle wasting and risk of protein energy (PEW) in hemodialysis (HD) patients using an ultrasound (US) imaging method. PEW was identified the ISRNM criteria 351 HD patients. Quadriceps thickness rectus femoris (RF) vastus intermedius (VI) muscles cross-sectional area (CSA) RF (RFCSA) were measured US compared with other physical measures. Associations indices determined by logistic regression. Irrespective gender, vs. non-PEW had smaller RF, VI muscles, RFCSA (all...
Hyperphosphatemia afflicts end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, contributing to comorbidities and mortality. Management strategies are dialysis, phosphate binder, limiting dietary intake, but treatment barriers poor patient compliance low health literacy arising from self-efficacy lack of educational resources. This study describes developing validating a mobile application (PMA). The PMA development based on the seven-stage Precaution Adoption Process Model prioritized titrating...
Muscle wasting, prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients diagnosed with protein-energy represents an assessment challenge the outpatient HD setting. Quadriceps muscle thickness (QMT) and cross-sectional area (CSA) by ultrasound (US) is a potential surrogate measure for wasting. We aimed to determine validity of US QMT CSA against gold standard-computed tomography (CT).Twenty-six on underwent CT scans same day, postdialysis session. rectus femoris (RF) vastus intermedius (VI)...
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a phosphate mobile app (PMA), MyKidneyDiet-Phosphate Tracker ©2019, on hemodialysis (HD) patients with hyperphosphatemia. A multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial design allowed randomization hyperphosphatemia either usual care group (UG; receiving single dietitian-led session an education booklet) or PMA (PG). Thirty-three in each intervention completed 12-week study. Post-intervention, serum phosphorus levels were reduced both...
The aims of this study were threefold: first, to assess the dietary fatty acid (FA) intake and blood FA status in Malaysian patients on hemodialysis (HD); second, examine association between intakes profiles HD; third, determine whether FAs could serve as a biomarker fat quality these patients.Using 3 d records, 333 recruited calculated using food database built from laboratory analyses commonly consumed foods. Plasma triacylglycerol (TG) erythrocyte determined by gas chromatography.High...
End-stage renal disease patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) are vulnerable to the protein energy wasting (PEW) syndrome. Identification and diagnosis of PEW relies on clinical processes judgment dependent fulfilling multiple criteria drawn from serum biochemistry, weight status, predictive muscle mass, dietary intakes. Therefore, we sought explore biomarkers’ signature with plasma metabolites by using 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance for an untargeted metabolomics approach in HD...

Evaluating dietary guidelines using diet quality (DQ) offers valuable insights into the healthfulness of a population's diet. We conducted forensic analysis DQ metrics to compare Malaysian Dietary Guidelines (MDG-2020) with its former version (MDG-2010) in relation cardiometabolic risk (CMR) for an adult population. A cross-sectional data from Malaysia Lipid Study (MLS) cohort (n = 577, age: 20-65yrs) was performed healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015) framework conformation MDG-2020 (MHEI

Abstract The metabolic impact of circulating fatty acids (FAs) in patients requiring hemodialysis (HD) is unknown. We investigated the associations between plasma triglyceride (TG) FAs and markers inflammation, insulin resistance, nutritional status body composition. Plasma TG-FAs were measured using gas chromatography 341 on HD (age = 55.2 ± 14.0 years 54.3% males). Cross-sectional with 13 examined multivariate linear regression adjusted for potential confounders. Higher levels TG saturated...
Fatty acid (FA) intake and metabolism have been hypothesized to influence body composition. This study investigated the associations between plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) FAs composition in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
