What are the relationships between nutrition status parameters and renal function in CKD patients?
-
Conclusion
Nutrition status parameters have been associated with renal function in CKD patients. Parameters include energy intake, serum transferrin, creatinine-to-height ratio, arm muscle area and urinary protein excretion. These correlations may vary depending on gender and race and may be confounded by prescribed dietary interventions per study protocol.

Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;

- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
