Impact of lower body mass index on risk of all-cause mortality and infection-related death in Japanese chronic kidney disease patients.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Several studies have reported that lower body mass index (BMI) is associated with high mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Rate of infection-related death in CKD patients is increasing. However, the relationship between BMI and infection-related death is unclear. METHODS:Overall, 2648 CKD outpatients (estimated glomerular filtration rate?

<h4>Background</h4>Several studies have reported that lower body mass index (BMI) is associated with high mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Rate of infection-related death in CKD patients is increasing. However, the relationship between BMI and infection-related death is unclear.<h4>Methods</h4>Overall, 2648 CKD outpatients (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min and/or presenting with proteinuria) under the care of nephrologists were prospectively followed for 5  ...[more]
