Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the patients affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), the prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia increases with the progression of renal disease. This may depend on the fact that malnutrition and sarcopenia are generally interconnected but also on the possibility that common pathophysiological pathways link these syndromes to CKD. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that in CKD patients, malnutrition and sarcopenia are also strictly associated with mineral bone disorders, an association that may identify a new nosological entity recognized as “osteosarcopenia”.
In this Special Issue of Nutrients, we would like to examine in depth the epidemiology linking malnutrition, sarcopenia and bone mineral disorders in the various stages of CKD. Furthermore, we will address the common pathophysiological pathways underlying these associations with special attention to dietary habits, uremic toxins, and inflammation.
We would also investigate the effects of different dietary interventions (such as: low protein, vegan/vegetarian, ketogenic, anti-inflammatory) on nutritional status, osteo and/or sarcopenia in the various stages of CKD. Finally, we would be interested in evaluating the possible benefits of enteral, parenteral or oral supplementations to prevent or improve malnutrition and osteosarcopenia in patients undergoing acute or chronic renal replacement treatments.
