Extent of malnutrition in end-stage renal disease patients

چکیده
1. Pre-dialysis patients Malnutrition is not specific to any stage of ESRD, but evidently it is present even before starting renal replacement therapy (RRT). Reports published by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) Study indicate that early signs of malnutrition, such as reduction in body mass index (BMI), weight and anthropometric measurements, and notable decline in urinary biochemistry parameters, including urinary creatinine excretion, was observed in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients (1). Even similar reports were found, favouring malnutrition before initiation of dialysis, indicating reductions in serum transferrin, serum cholesterol, serum IGF-1, percentage of body weight and urinary creatinine excretion as renal function deteriorated (2).
