Abstract
Observational studies in chronic kidney disease (CKD) populations consistently have shown the strong mortality-predictability of such markers of protein-energy wasting (PEW) as hypoalbuminemia, low serum cholesterol levels, low body mass index, and reduced dietary protein intake. Even though the PEW-mortality association data traditionally are reported mostly in maintenance dialysis patients, emerging studies extend the existence of these...
