Diagnosing malnutrition in patients on dialysis using the global leadership initiative on malnutrition (GLIM) criteria: bridging the gap between theoretical consensus and real-world applicability.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study checked if a common malnutrition test works well for people on dialysis. It looked at patients in six Swedish centers. The results show a link between the test and real-world use, but it is not proof of cause. This helps doctors spot low nutrition earlier.
