Prevalence and factors associated with malnutrition among patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease stages 3-5.

Key takeaways

This cross-sectional study found that nearly half of people with pre-dialysis kidney disease stages 3 to 5 had malnutrition, and lower income, worse kidney filtering rate (eGFR), and more inflammation were linked to it—though the study cannot say which factor caused the malnutrition.
