Practical Use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Pruritus J. Ren. Nutr. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-28 Rachael R. Majorowicz, Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh
Regulatory and clinical stakeholders are increasingly advocating for the use of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures; however, the use of PROs is still not widespread. Patient reports are often the best ways to diagnose and monitor the effect of treatment on symptoms when the symptoms are subjective, as with pruritus. While many PRO tools are available to assess the severity of pruritus and its

No detectable coagulation activation after vitamin K (MK-7) supplementation in patients on dialysis with functional vitamin K deficiency: a one-year randomized, placebo-controlled study J. Ren. Nutr. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-12-19 Else-Marie Bladbjerg, Karin Levy-Schousboe, Marie Frimodt-Møller, Krista D. Kjærgaard, Charlotte Strandhave, Claus L. Brasen, Niels Erik Frandsen, Ditte Hansen, Peter Marckmann
Objective Patients on dialysis treatment have poor functional vitamin K status, and this may increase the risk of vascular calcification. Vitamin K supplementation may therefore be relevant in patients on dialysis, but the procoagulant effects have not been studied. We evaluated effects of menaquinone-7 (MK-7) supplementation on biomarkers of coagulation in patients on dialysis. Design and methods

Nutrition support for older adults with pressure injuries receiving maintenance hemodialysis: A Case Study J. Ren. Nutr. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-11-22 Julius S. Navarro, Rebecca Brody
Hemodialysis (HD) and pressure injuries (PI) are both hypercatabolic states that may contribute to protein-energy wasting (PEW) development. These conditions require increased energy and protein to prevent losses from HD and support wound healing. Nutrition support therapy using intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) with or without a combination of oral nutrition supplements (ONS) has yielded positive

In the “Plant-Based” Era, Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Should Focus on Eating Healthy J. Ren. Nutr. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-08-28 Natasha S. Freeman, Jeffrey M. Turner
In the era of plant-based diets, it is important for Nephrology providers to know the evidence regarding their healthfulness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A whole food, plant-based diet, which emphasizes fresh, minimally processed or refined plant-based foods and limits animal products, has shown benefits for patients with CKD. These include reduced dietary acid load, lower bioavailability
