Nutritional risk assessment in hemodialysis patients: A comparative analysis of...
Aguiar, L; Martins, VS; Pinto, I; Papoila, A; Dias, C; Figueiredo, R; Pereira, J; Ramiao, I; Velez, B; Adragao, T; Borges, Nuno; Almeida, E; Garrido, JBackground and aims: Nutritional status has a great impact on the prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Therefore, its management should be a priority, and risk screening frequent and easily implemented, based on the biochemical and clinical routine parameters already available, when the use of more comprehensive tools is not possible. Many tools fit these simple criteria, namely the modified creatini...

Can an intradialytic snack model compensate the catabolic impact of hemodialysis?
Martins, VS; Adragao, T; Aguiar, L; Fortes, A; Costa, O; Borges, Nuno; Calhau, C; Macario, FBackground and aims: Hemodialysis (HD) has a catabolic effect caused by alterations in protein metabolism, increase in resting energy expenditure (REE) and protein needs due to inflammation, HD circuit blood and heat losses, protein losses to dialysate and HD filter membrane biocompatibility. We aim to determine, as a proof of concept, whether a standardized intradialytic snack model is adequate to compensate t...

Higher Mineralized Bone Volume Is Associated with a Lower Plain X-Ray Vascular ...
Adragao, T; Ferreira, A; Frazao, JM; Papoila, AL; Pinto, I; Monier-Faugere, MC; Malluche, HHBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In dialysis patients, there is an increasing evidence that altered bone metabolism is associated with cardiovascular calcifications. The main objective of this study was to analyse, in hemodialysis patients, the relationships between bone turnover, mineralization and volume, evaluated in bone biopsies, with a plain X-ray vascular calcification score. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND ...
