Background Handgrip strength (HS) measures have been associated with nutritional status, morbidity, and mortality in end stage of renal disease (ESRD). Objective We aimed to present and discuss the HS method in ESRD patients, by reviewing published studies on the subject. Methods PUBMED, MEDLINE, and LILACS databases were consulted, with no filters regarding the date of publication or age of population...
Background Chronic kidney disease is worldwide recognized as a public health problem due to high rates of morbidity and mortality. At the end stage of the disease, which the glomerular filtration rate is equal or less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m2, dialysis initiation is usually indicated. In the absence of a consensus on the best time of beginning, the aim of this study was to identify clinical and nutritional...
Background The determination of resting energy expenditure (REE) in critically ill patients could prevent complications such as hypo- and hyperalimentation.This study aims to describe the REE in septic patients with and without acute kidney injury (AKI) and compare the REE estimated by the Harris-Benedict equation (HB) with the REE measured by indirect calorimetry (IC). Methods Prospective and observational...
Hypercatabolism has been described as the main nutritional change in acute kidney injury. Catabolism may be defined as the excessive release of amino acids from skeletal muscle. Conditions such as fasting, inadequate nutritional support, renal replacement therapy, metabolic acidosis, and secretion of catabolic hormones are the main factors that affect protein catabolism. Given the imprecision of the...
