ABSTRACT Muscle wasting and low muscle mass are prominent features of protein energy (PEW), sarcopenia sarcopenic obesity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition, is associated strength, impaired function adverse clinical outcomes such as quality life, hospitalizations increased mortality. While assessment well justified, the skeletal should go beyond quantity. Imaging techniques provide means for non-invasive, comprehensive, in-depth infiltration ectopic fat. These...
Emerging evidence suggests that diet, particularly one is rich in dietary fiber, may prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its associated complications people with established CKD. This narrative review summarizes current discusses opportunities for increasing fiber intake CKD to improve health reduce complications. A higher consumption exerts multiple benefits, such as stool output, promoting growth beneficial microbiota, improving gut barrier decreasing inflammation,...
In patients on chronic dialysis a sedentary lifestyle is strong, yet potentially modifiable, predictor of mortality. The present single-center pilot study evaluated social, psychological and clinical barriers that may hinder physical activity in this population.We explored the association between to sedentarism adult at facility Parma, Italy. We used different questionnaries exploring participation activity, functioning, patient attitudes preferences, perceived by either or doctors nurses.We...
Acute kidney injury (AKI), at least in critically ill patients, seldom occurs as isolated organ failure. Much more often it emerges a component of the multiple failure syndrome, within framework severe and prolonged catabolic phase determined by critical illness, intensified specific derangements substrate utilization due to acute loss function. On these bases, patients with AKI have protein-energy wasting (preexisting and/or hospital acquired), which represents major negative prognostic...
Background and aim of the study In hemodialysis patients, sedentarism is a potentially modifiable mortality risk factor. We explored whether healthcare staff's attitude towards exercise interacts with patient-perceived barriers in modifying level physical activity this population. Methods prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter we recruited 608 adult patients 330 members staff 16 units Italy. assessed to, towards, by specific questionnaires. fitted multilevel linear models to analyze...
Malnutrition is a prevalent condition in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of recently developed GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) MHD by assessing agreement, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and survival prediction when compared 7-point subjective global assessment (7p-SGA) malnutrition inflammation score (MIS).We investigated 2 cohorts: MHDltaly (121 adults from Italy; 67 ± 16 years, 65% men, body mass index 25 5...
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...
SummaryBackground and aimsHospitalized patients often have acute kidney disease (AKD) or chronic (CKD), with important metabolic nutritional consequences. Moreover, in case replacement therapy (KRT) is started, the possible impact on requirements cannot be neglected.On this regard, present guideline aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical nutrition hospitalized KD.MethodsThe standard operating procedure ESPEN guidelines was used. Clinical questions were defined both PICO...
