Pre-dialysis creatinine and interdialytic change in creatinine as nutritional markers in haemodialysis patients.
Sir, We read with great interest the recent article by Walther et al. [1], which correlated pre-dialysis creatinine levels and interdialytic creatinine change with nutritional status and mortality in haemodialysis patients. The interdialytic change in creatinine is a surrogate of the creatinine generation occurring within the period that may be quantified more precisely by the creatinine index ...
متن کاملInterdialytic creatinine change versus predialysis creatinine as indicators of nutritional status in maintenance hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Protein-energy wasting is common in patients on maintenance hemodialysis and is strongly associated with poor quality of life and mortality. However, clinical assessment of protein-energy wasting remains difficult. Predialysis creatinine levels are associated with mortality risk but may be influenced by both muscle mass and dialysis dose. This might be overcome by examining the rate ...
متن کاملCreatinine index and transthyretin as additive predictors of mortality in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Malnutrition and inflammation are recognized as important predictors of poor clinical outcome in haemodialysis (HD). This study was designed to estimate the relative contribution of known biological markers of inflammation, malnutrition and muscle mass in the prognosis of HD patients. METHODS A total of 187 HD patients (100 women, 87 men, median age 66.7 years [22.3-93.5]) were fol...
متن کاملCreatinine Index as a Surrogate of Lean Body Mass Derived from Urea Kt/V, Pre-Dialysis Serum Levels and Anthropometric Characteristics of Haemodialysis Patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Protein-energy wasting is common in long-term haemodialysis (HD) patients with chronic kidney disease and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The creatinine index (CI) is a simple and useful nutritional parameter reflecting the dietary skeletal muscle protein intake and skeletal muscle mass of the patient. Because of the complexity of creatinine kinet...
متن کاملSalivary Creatinine Estimation as an Alternative to Serum Creatinine in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
Context. Sampling blood for serum analysis is an invasive procedure. A noninvasive alternative would be beneficial to patients and health care professionals. Aim. To correlate serum and salivary creatinine levels and evaluate the role of saliva as a noninvasive alternative to serum for creatinine estimation in chronic kidney disease patients. Study Design. Case-control study. Methods. Blood and...
