Inflammatory indexes and anemia in chronic kidney disease: correlation and survival analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2018. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2399314. [PMID: 39248404 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2399314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is currently no research on the correlation between novel inflammatory indexes systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and the risk of anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) population, as well as survival analysis in CKD with anemia. METHODS This investigation encompassed 4444 adult subjects out of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2018. The study utilized multi-variable logistic regression to assess the relationship between SII, NLR, PLR, and anemia risk occurrence in CKD population. Survival differences in CKD patients with anemia, based on varying levels of SII, NLR, and PLR were evaluated employing Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS The adjusted logistic regression model demonstrates that SII, NLR, and PLR are associated with the risk of anemia occurrence in CKD population. Kaplan-Meier's analysis reveals significant differences in survival rates among CKD patients with anemia stratified by NLR levels. The adjusted Cox proportional hazards model shows that the higher NLR group has a 30% elevated risk of all-cause mortality contrasted with lower group (hazard ratio, HR: 1.30, confidence interval (CI) [1.01, 1.66], p value <.04). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) demonstrates no nonlinear relationship between NLR and all-cause mortality. Lastly, sub-cohort analysis indicates that in populations with diabetes, hypertension, and hyperuricemia, NLR levels have a greater impact on all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS Controlling inflammation may reduce the occurrence of anemia in CKD populations, with NLR serving to be a potential prognostic indicator for survival results within CKD patients suffering from co-morbid anemia.

[PMID: 37220148 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0286075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protein energy wasting (PEW) is common among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, especially those with advanced stage. It worsens frailty, sarcopenia and debility in CKD patients. Despite the importance of PEW, it is not routinely assessed during management of CKD patients in Nigeria. The prevalence of PEW and its associated factors were determined in pre-dialysis CKD patients. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that involved 250 pre-dialysis CKD patients and 125 age- and sex- matched healthy controls. Body mass index (BMI), subjective global assessment (SGA) scores and serum albumin levels were used in PEW assessment. The factors associated with PEW were identified. P-value of < 0.05 was taken as significant. RESULTS The mean age of CKD and control group were 52.3±16.0 years and 50.5±16.0 years, respectively. The prevalence of low BMI, hypoalbuminaemia and malnutrition defined by SGA in pre-dialysis CKD patients were 42.4%, 62.0% and 74.8%, respectively. The overall prevalence of PEW among the pre-dialysis CKD patients was 33.3%. On multiple logistic regression, the factors associated with PEW in CKD were being middle aged (adjusted odds ratio: 12.50; confidence interval: 3.42-45.00; p <0.001), depression (adjusted odds ratio: 2.34; confidence interval: 1.02-5.40; p = 0.046) and CKD stage 5 (adjusted odds ratio: 12.83; confidence interval: 3.53-46.60; p <0.001). CONCLUSION PEW is common in pre-dialysis CKD patients and it was associated with middle age, depression and advanced CKD. Early intervention aimed at addressing depression in early stages of CKD may prevent PEW and improve overall outcome in CKD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite not being frequently recognized, malnutrition, a consequence of chronic kidney disease, negatively affects morbidity, mortality, functional activity, and patient's quality of life. Management of this condition is made more difficult by the dearth of knowledge regarding the symptom burden brought on by inadequate nutritional status. Additionally, there are multiple tools to evaluate nutritional status in CKD; but, Pt-Global web tool/PG-SGA used in oncology, has not been investigated in chronic kidney disease patients. This study aimed to explore the nutritional status, symptom burden and also investigate the predictive validity of Pt-Global web tool/PG-SGA among pre-dialysis diabetic and non-diabetic chronic kidney disease patients. METHODOLOGY This cross-sectional study was carried out at a renal clinic of a tertiary care public teaching hospital. Nutritional status and symptom burden was evaluated by employing a 'Pt-Global web tool/PG-SGA' which is considered as a preeminent interdisciplinary tool in oncology and other chronic catabolic conditions. The predictive validity of the Pt-Global web tool/PG-SGA, referred as overall score for malnutrition was ascertained using Receiver Operating Curves (ROC). The conclusions were drawn using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. RESULTS In a sample of 450 pre-dialysis CKD patients, the malnutrition was present in 292(64.9%) patients. Diabetic CKD patients exhibit higher proportion of malnutrition 159(35.3%). The prevalence of malnutrition was exacerbated by eGFR reduction. The overall Pt-Global web tool/PGA-SGA score was significantly influenced by the symptoms of fatigue (81.5%), appetite loss (54.8%), physical pain (45.3%), constipation (31.78%), dry mouth (26.2%), and feeling full quickly (25.8%). The ROC analysis showed that the AUC for the total PG-SGA score was 0.988 (95% CI: 0.976-1.000), indicating that it is a reliable indicator of malnutrition. The sensitivity (84.2%) for identifying malnutrition was low when using the conventional tool cut off score of ≥9. Instead, it was discovered that a score of ≥3 had a greater sensitivity (99.3%) and specificity (44.3%) and was therefore recommended. CONCLUSIONS This study not only presents empirical evidence of poor nutritional status in CKD patients but also reveals that it is worse in patients with diabetes, hypoalbuminemia, and poorer kidney function (well recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease). Early diagnosis and management of symptoms contributing malnutrition will reduce mortality and CKD progression. The Pt-Global web tool/PG-SGA total score of 3 or more appears to be the ideal cut off score for identifying malnutrition, which can be utilized by dietician for improving malnutrition.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study is conducted to find out the prevalence of malnutrition and its association with inflammation in patients with CKD stages 3–5.
Method
This is a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted at the Sri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Science, Uttar Pradesh, India. CKD stages 3–5 patients were included. The nutritional status was assessed by subjective global assessment (SGA). Anthropometric and biochemical measurements were also checked at the time of enrollment.
Results
A total of 213/354 (60.2%) of patients were malnourished. The triceps skinfold thickness (TSFT) was 8.2 ± 1.2 mm and 10.9 ± 1.2 mm in the malnourished and well-nourished groups, respectively; p < 0.001. TSFT was ≤ 10 mm in 91.1% of patients with malnutrition. Mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) was 21.3 ± 2.2 cm and 24 ± 2.9 cm, and the body mass index (BMI) was 19.8 ± 1.5 and 22.5 ± 1.4 kg/m2 in the malnourished and well-nourished group, respectively; p < 0.001. A significant direct correlation between BMI, TSFT, MAMC, and eGFR was noted. Median eGFR was 11.9 ml/min/1.73 m2 in the malnourished compared to 24.2 ml/min/1.73 m2 in the well-nourished group; p < 0.001. Serum ferritin level was 246.77 ± 18.24 mg/L in the malnourished group, higher than the well-nourished group at 237.23 ± 16.13 mg/L; p < 0.001. CRP was elevated (> 0.6 mg/dl) in 53.5% patients with malnutrition; p 0.003.
Conclusions
Malnutrition is highly prevalent in the CKD population. The incidence increases as the eGFR decrease. TSFT ≤ 10 mm compares favorably with SGA in detecting malnutrition (sensitivity > 90%), and BMI > 20 kg/m2 compares favorably with SGA in ruling out malnutrition (specificity 97%). Malnutrition and inflammation often coexist. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a composite indicator of inflammation and nutritional status, has recently been recognized as an independent prognostic marker for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to investigate PNI and its relationship with mortality in elderly patients with CKD. METHODS Three hundred and fifty-nine patients over the age of 80 years with stage 3-4 CKD were enrolled in this retrospective study. PNI was used to assess the nutritional status of the patients. Patients were divided into two different groups as deceased and survived and as low PNI (< 39) and high PNI (≥ 39) according to median value of PNI. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 85.7 ± 3.7 years. One hundred and ninety-five (54.3%) patients died during follow-up. Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender, PNI, proteinuria, and diabetes mellitus (DM) were independent predictors of mortality in elderly patients with CKD. When patients with low PNI were compared to those with high PNI, initiation of dialysis and mortality rate were significantly higher whereas albumin, hemoglobin and lymphocyte count were lower. Pearson correlation analysis showed that PNI was significantly correlated with albumin (r = 1.000, p < 0.001), hemoglobin (r = 0.340, p < 0.001) and eGFR (r = 0.123, p = 0.020). Hemoglobin was an independent predictor of PNI in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION In this study, we observed that PNI was significantly associated with mortality over the age of 80 years in patients with CKD and can be used to monitor nutritional status in this patient population.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa. Undernutrition has been prevalent amongst end stage CKD patients, with limited data on the prevalence of obesity. The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status of CKD patients using various methods sensitive to over and under-nutrition. Stage 3 to 5 CKD patients (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) attending a pre-dialysis clinic in Cape Town, were enrolled. Exclusion criteria included infectious and autoimmune conditions. Sociodemographic, clinical and biochemical data were collected, and anthropometric measurements were performed. Dietary intake was measured with a quantified food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used for statistical analysis. Seventy participants, with mean age of 41.8 ± 11.8 years, 52.9% females and 47.1% males were enrolled. Participants enrolled mainly had stage 5 kidney failure. Thirty percent were overweight (21) and 25 (36%) were obese, 22 (60%) of females were overweight and obese, while 13 (39.4%) of males were predominantly normal weight. Abdominal obesity was found in 42 (60%) of participants, mainly in females. Undernutrition prevalence was low at 3%. Dietary assessment showed a high sugar and protein intake. There was a high prevalence of overweight, obesity and abdominal obesity in CKD stage 35 patients, with unhealthy dietary intake and other nutritional abnormalities.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves many factors that can cause frailty and oral hypofunction. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of frailty and oral hypofunction and to examine the associations among kidney function, frailty, and oral function in adults with CKD in Japan. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at two institutions. The participants included 109 patients with CKD stages 3–5 who visited outpatient clinics or were admitted for inpatient treatment. Frailty was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study frailty criteria. Oral function was evaluated by assessing oral motor skills [oral diadochokinesis (ODK) rate], masticatory ability, and the repetitive saliva swallowing test. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was used to indicate kidney function. We examined the associations among kidney function, frailty, and oral function using binomial logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 31 participants (28.4%) were classified as being frail. Univariate analysis showed that age, body mass index, eGFR, and haemoglobin level were significantly associated with frailty. ODK and swallowing function were significantly associated with frailty. Multivariate analysis revealed that frailty was significantly associated with eGFR [odds ratio (OR) 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92–1.00, p = 0.048] and ODK rate (OR 0.68, CI 0.47–0.98, p = 0.038). However, no significant association was found between CKD severity and masticatory or swallowing function. Conclusion We found a high prevalence of frailty in patients with CKD and a significant association between frailty and oral motor skills, affecting the swallowing function of patients with nondialysis CKD. The high prevalence of frailty among patients with CKD suggests that routine assessment of frailty is necessary to prevent the development of severe complications. In addition, oral and kidney function should be carefully evaluated, and oral health education and interventions should be performed for patients with CKD.

Abstract
Anemia is frequently observed in the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is associated with diminishing the quality of a patient’s life. It also enhances morbidity and mortality and hastens the CKD progression rate. Patients with CKD frequently suffer from a chronic inflammatory state which is related to a vast range of underlying factors. The results of studies have demonstrated that persistent inflammation may contribute to the variability in Hb levels and hyporesponsiveness to erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA), which are frequently observed in CKD patients. The understanding of the impact of inflammatory cytokines on erythropoietin production and hepcidin synthesis will enable one to unravel the net of interactions of multiple factors involved in the pathogenesis of the anemia of chronic disease. It seems that anti-cytokine and anti-oxidative treatment strategies may be the future of pharmacological interventions aiming at the treatment of inflammation-associated hyporesponsiveness to ESA. The discovery of new therapeutic approaches towards the treatment of anemia in CKD patients has become highly awaited. The treatment of anemia with erythropoietin (EPO) was associated with great benefits for some patients but not all.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) has significant correlations with prospective hospitalization and mortality, as well as measures of anemia, inflammation, and nutrition in dialysis patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted on 100 adult patients of CKD selected from K&D clinic PGIMS, Rohtak. All the patients went under detailed socioeconomic, clinical, biochemical and radiological examination. The average of three measurements of body weight, height, triceps skin fold thickness (TST), and mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) were measured in all patients. MIS was calculated for all the patients. RESULTS Out of total 100 patients, 64 were male and 36 were female. Overall, the prevalence of malnutrition was 60%. A total of 42%, 16% and 2% patients had mild, moderate and severe malnutrition respectively. Our study also shows significant association between staging of CKD (3 to 5-D) and MIS. A significant negative correlation was found between MIS and factors such as BMI, eGFR, serum calcium and hemoglobin levels. A significant positive correlation of this score was found with blood urea serum creatinine, serum uric acid, serum potassium and serum phosphate. Multivariate analysis showed significant association between MIS and serum albumin, TIBC, BMI, family income and hs-CRP. CONCLUSION Assessment of key components of malnutrition and inflammation early in disease course will help to identify high risk subjects in whom modifying these predictors will help in providing active and healthy life for CKD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome (MICS), hyperhomocysteinemia, calcium and phosphate levels derangement have been predicted as important contributing factors for the progression of cardiovascular burden. Among patients with earlier stage of CKD, hypoalbuminaemia and inflammation deliberated as non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors, which add more burden to circulatory disease, mortality and rapid advancement to CKD stage 5. AIM The aim of the study is to evaluate inflammation and nutritional status of CKD patients not on dialysis using Malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) and to verify the association with mortality in the follow-up period. METHODS AND MATERIAL In this prospective cohort study 129 (66 males, 63 females) pre-dialysis CKD patients enrolled between June 2013 to August 2014 and censored until March 2017. Malnutrition and Inflammation assessed using Malnutrition inflammation score. Blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, albumin, Interleukin - 6, highly sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), total cholesterol and anthropometric data were analyzed. RESULTS The Malnutrition inflammation score in pre-dialysis CKD patients ranged from 0 to 18 with the median score of two. During 36 or more months of follow-up, there were 30 (23.2%) deaths, 35 (27%) patients initiated on hemodialysis, one (0.7%) patient was initiated on peritoneal dialysis, two (1.4%) patients underwent renal transplantation and two (1.4%) patients were lost for follow-up. In this study, 33% had varying degree of malnutrition and inflammation. Patients who had MIS ≥7 had significant increase in IL-6 (p = 0.003) and HsCRP levels (p < 0.001) when compared with other tertiles of MIS. ROC curve analysis of MIS showed 56.5% sensitivity and 81% specificity in predicting death rate (AUC 0.709; 95% CI 0.604-0.815, p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed MIS ≥7 had a strong association (log rank test, p < 0.001) with mortality during 36 and more months of follow-up time. In unadjusted analyses, MIS (HR 1.140; 95% CI 1.054-1.233; p < 0.05) and HsCRP (HR 2.369; 95% CI 1.779-3.154; p < 0.001) found to be predictors of mortality. MIS and HsCRP remained predictors of mortality even after adjustments. CONCLUSIONS This study shows MIS is an important factor that determines mortality in pre-dialysis CKD patients during 36 and more months of follow-up time. Patients with MIS ≥7 have high risk for mortality and needs close monitoring. In clinical setting application of MIS has a greater utilization in pre-dialysis CKD patients. Further research with longitudinal assessment of MIS and its association with outcomes are warranted. Pre-dialysis CKD patients should be assessed for their nutritional status and inflammation using MIS regularly to prevent malnutrition and its associated complications through appropriate medical and nutritional intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition and inflammation are associated with morbidity and mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide hormone, is speculated to be associated with nutritional and inflammatory status in MHD. AIM To assess the serum total ghrelin levels and its possible relationship with inflammation and nutritional status in patients on MHD. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 90 patients on MHD for 6 months and above (56 males, 34 females, mean age 52.6 [11.7] years; mean dialysis vintage 20.9 [12.1] months) and 70 healthy volunteers as control (5 males, 25 females, mean age 50.6 [9.7] years). Demographics were obtained for the study population, and dialysis-related data were collected for cases. Anthropometry, biochemical parameters, serum total ghrelin and inflammatory markers tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and high-sensitivityC-reactive protein (hsCRP) were assessed for cases and control. Self-reported appetite (five questions of appetite and diet assessment tool) and nutritional status (subjective global assessment-dialysis malnutrition score) were assessed for cases. RESULTS Ghrelin (242.5 [62.3] pg/mL vs. 80.2 [19.6] pg/mL; P < 0.001), TNF-α (39.8 [15.2] pg/mL vs. 6.5 [1.2] pg/mL; P < 0.001), hsCRP (10.2 [2.8] mg/L vs. 2.7 [0.54] mg/L; P < 0.001) were significantly elevated in cases versus control, anthropometry, and biochemical parameters were significantly decreased in hemodialysis patient. Of 90 cases, (13/90 [14.4%]) were well-nourished, (28/90 [31%]) mild to moderately malnourished, and (49/90 [54.4%]) were moderate to severely malnourished. Appetite was very good for14.4%, good and fair for 47.8%, poor and very poor for 37.8% patients. There was a significant difference in appetite with respect to nutritional status (P < 0.001). Ghrelin had positive correlation with inflammatory markers and negative correlation with nutritional status (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The study identified the association of ghrelin with appetite, nutritional, and inflammatory status of the patients on MHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) known to affect quality of life and prognosis although not often diagnosed. It is associated with rapid progression to end stage renal disease (ESRD) and mortality. Early identification and treatment will slow down progression to ESRD and mortality. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and pattern of malnutrition in pre-dialysis CKD patients in Southern Nigeria. METHODS One hundred and twenty consecutive pre-dialysis CKD and 40 control subjects without CKD were studied. Data obtained from participants were demographics, body mass index (BMI), and aetiology of CKD. Indices used to assess presence of malnutrition were low BMI, hypocholesterolaemia and hypoalbuminaemia. Statistical significance was taken at 0.05 level. RESULTS The mean age of the CKD subjects was 48.8±16.6years with a male: female ratio of 1.7:1. Prevalence of malnutrition in the CKD subjects was 46.7%, higher than 27.5% observed in the controls (p=0.033). Prevalence of malnutrition increased significantly across CKD stages 2 to 5 (p=0.020). It was significantly commoner in elderly patients (p=0.047) but not significantly different between males and females(p=0.188). CONCLUSION Malnutrition is common in pre-dialysis CKD patients even in early CKD stages. Prevalence of malnutrition increases with worsening kidney function and increasing age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increase in number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Uganda's health facilities looking for different options of preparing matooke (bananas), their staple food. OBJECTIVE To establish and evaluate an effective method of removing potassium from bananas (matooke). METHODS Bananas were sampled from 5 markets in Kampala, Uganda. Deionized water was used to soak the bananas and the potassium concentration was determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer in both the bananas and water after soaking for varying time intervals. We also determined the potassium concentrations in the bananas and the water after boiling the bananas at 200 degrees Celsius at intervals of 10 minutes (for 60 minutes). RESULTS The potassium concentration did not appear to change on soaking alone without boiling. However, on boiling, the concentration in the bananas decreased from about 1.4 ppm to approx. 1 ppm after 60 min; yet the concentration of potassium released into deionized water increased steadily from 0.0 ppm to about 1.2 ppm after 60 min of boiling. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that boiling the bananas is a more effective way of removing the potassium from bananas than simply soaking them.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease has profound effects on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients, with serious physiological, psychological and socio-economic implications. The co-occurrence of protein-energy wasting and inflammation in end-stage renal disease patients is associated with worse HRQoL and increased mortality. We designed this study to examine the relationship between nutritional and inflammatory status and HRQoL in kidney transplant recipients. METHODS Data from 100 randomly selected kidney transplant patients were analyzed in a cross-sectional survey. Socio-demographic parameters, laboratory results, transplantation-related data, comorbidities, medication and malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) (Kalantar Score) were tabulated at baseline. Patients completed the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-SF (KDQoL-SF™) self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS Mean age was 51 ± 13 years, median (interquartile range, IQR) time since transplantation 66 (83) months, 57% were men, and 19% had diabetes. The median (IQR) MIS was 3 (3). The MIS significantly and negatively correlated with almost all HRQoL domains analyzed, and this association remained significant in multivariate linear regression analysis for the log-transformed scores on energy/fatigue (β = -0.059 P < 0.001), bodily pain (β = -0.056 P = 0.004), physical functioning (β = -0.029, P = 0.022) and symptoms/problems (β = -0.023 P = 0.005) domains after statistical correction for age, gender, eGFR, dialysis vintage, Charlson Comorbidity Index and occupational status. Additionally, cubic spline analyses revealed linearly increasing, "dose-response" relationship between almost all domains of KDQoL-SF™ and the MIS. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition-inflammation score is independently associated with different dimensions of HRQoL in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intake and status of antioxidants in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. DESIGN Randomized control trial. SETTING Hospital outpatient department. SUBJECTS One hundred eighty-five subjects (145 predialysis CKD patients and 40 apparently healthy controls) were enrolled for this study. The patients were divided into moderate and severe renal failure groups based on their creatinine and glomerular filtration rates. INTERVENTION All patients completed a food frequency questionnaire, 24-hour dietary recall form, and anthropometric measurements and underwent biochemical and antioxidant lab tests. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Dietary intake, anthropometry, biochemical measures of blood and antioxidant enzymes as well as oxidative stress. RESULTS Overall, the diet was significantly lower in antioxidant-rich food intake in all the CKD patients as compared with controls. The oxidative stress measured in blood was found to be in consonance with the intake from diet. CONCLUSION Micronutrients play a major role in the antioxidant status of the patients and must be monitored, as deficiency of these might elevate the oxidative stress of the body, especially in the chronic diseases.
