Urinary creatinine and survival in CKD.

Low muscle mass is associated with risk of CKD progression, cardiovascular disease events, and mortality in avarietyof settings (1). It iswidelyhypothesized that these associations may be confounded by conditions associated with low muscle mass, including frailty, poor physical fitness, poor nutritional status, and greater comorbidity. However, lowmuscle is also hypothesized to worsen insulin r...

Patient Survival and Costs on Moderately Restricted Low-Protein Diets in Advanced CKD: Equivalent Survival at Lower Costs?

The indications for delaying the start of dialysis have revived interest in low-protein diets (LPDs). In this observational prospective study, we enrolled all patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who followed a moderately restricted LPD in 2007-2015 in a nephrology unit in Italy: 449 patients, 847 years of observation. At the start of the diet, the median glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ...
