Background: The population of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) may be at increased risk of protein energy wasting (PEW). The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of DM on selected indicators of PEW in the ESRD population that was undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods: A total of 515 MHD patients were divided into two subgroups with and without DM. The evaluation of diet composition, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), SGA, and laboratory and BIS analyses were performed. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality was recorded. Results: DM patients had lower albumin (3.93 (3.61–4.20) vs. 4.10 (3.80–4.30) g/dL, p < 0.01), total cholesterol (158 (133–196) vs. 180 (148–206) mg/dL, p < 0.01), and creatinine (6.34 (5.08–7.33) vs. 7.12 (5.70–8.51) mg/dL, p < 0.05). SGA score (12.0 (10.0–15.0) vs. 11.0 (9.0–13.0) points, p < 0.001), BMI (27.9 (24.4–31.8) vs. 25.6 (22.9–28.8) kg/m2, p < 0.001), fat tissue index (15.0 (11.4–19.6) vs. 12.8 (9.6–16.0) %, p < 0.001), and overhydration (2.1 (1.2–4.1) vs. 1.8 (0.7, 2.7) L, p < 0.001) were higher in the DM group. Increased morbidity, reflected in the CCI and mortality—both all-cause and cardiovascular—were observed in DM patients. Conclusions: Hemodialysis recipients with DM experience overnutrition with a paradoxically higher predisposition to PEW, expressed by a higher SGA score and lower serum markers of nutrition. This population is also more comorbid and is at higher risk of death, including from cardiovascular causes.

Among the many factors that affect outcome in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a state of metabolic and nutritional derangements, more aptly called protein-energy wasting (PEW) CKD, plays a major role.1 Multiple studies now indicate that PEW is highly prevalent and is closely associated with important clinical outcomes, such as hospitalizations and risk of death in this patient population. The focus of this review is to provide an overview of nutrition and metabolism in all stages of CKD, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This review contains 3 figures, 5 tables, and 105 references.  Key words: chronic-kidney disease (CKD), dialysis, end stage renal disease (ESRD), inflammation, maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), protein-energy wasting (PEW),uremia

ABSTRACT Background Obesity is a risk factor for de novo chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. Obesity has been increasingly prevalent in patients with CKD and may lead to further progression of pre-existing CKD. However, whether obesity is associated with the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with CKD is not well understood. Objective We investigated the impact of obesity on ESRD (needing chronic dialysis treatment or pre-emptive renal transplantation) or all-cause mortality in patients with moderate to advanced CKD. Design A total of 322 patients with stages 3–5 CKD who were not yet on dialysis were prospectively followed for a median of 4.9 y. Obesity was defined by body mass index (BMI, in kg/m2) ≥30 or body fat percentage (BF%) >25% in men and >35% in women. BF% was assessed with the use of the Body Composition Monitor, a multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy device. Results In total, 100 participants progressed to ESRD and 39 participants died. Obesity, whether defined by BMI or BF%, was not associated with a significantly increased risk of ESRD in Cox proportional hazards models that adjusted for age, sex, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine protein:creatinine ratio, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors or statins, accounting for the competing risk for mortality (subdistribution HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 0.62, 2.14 for BMI-defined obesity and subdistribution HR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.54, 1.29 for BF%-defined obesity, respectively). Results were similar when BMI and BF% were analyzed as continuous or time-dependent variables. Whereas higher BMI was protective, higher BF% appeared to be associated with increased all-cause mortality. Conclusions Obesity did not confer an increased risk of ESRD in patients with moderate to advanced CKD. This trial was registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03285074.

In end-stage renal disease patients, the leading causes of mortality are of cardiovascular (CV) origin. The underlying mechanisms are complex, given that sudden heart failure is more common than acute myocardial infarction. A contributing role of oxidative stress is postulated, which is increased even at early stages of chronic kidney disease, is gradually augmented in parallel to progression to endstage renal disease and is further accelerated by renal replacement therapy. Oxidative stress ensues when there is an imbalance between reactive pro-oxidants and physiologically occurring electron donating antioxidant defence systems. During the last decade, a close association of oxidative stress with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased risk for CV and all-cause mortality has been established. Lipid peroxidation has been identified as a trigger for endothelial dysfunction, the first step towards atherogenesis. In order to counteract the deleterious effects of free radicals and thereby ameliorate, or delay, CV disease, exogenous administration of antioxidants has been proposed. Here, we attempt to summarize existing data from studies that test antioxidants for CV protection, such as vitamins E and C, statins, omega-3 fatty acids and N-acetylcysteine.
