TL;DRAbstract
Protein-energy malnutrition is common in stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and usually associated with anorexia, chronic inflammation, kidney disease wasting (KDW), refractory anemia and poor outcome including high risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Uremia, endocrine and gastrointestinal disorders, and oxidative and carbonyl stress may engender this type of malnutrition. The dialysis treatment and techniques may also contribute to the protein-energy malnutrition. The term Malnutrition-Inflammation-Cachexia Syndrome (MICS) underscores the close link between the protein-energy malnutrition and inflammation and their concomitant contribution to the KDW. The MICS is associated with poor short-term survival and may result in paradoxical associations between some cardiovascular risks, and such relationships are continuing to be studied in the emerging theory known as the obesity paradox or “reverse epidemiology."
