Comparison of nutritional status in hemodialysis patients with and without failed renal allografts Clin Transplant 2010: 24: 481�C487. ? 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract:? Background:? The survival of patients returning to hemodialysis (HD) following kidney transplant failure is unfavorable. However, the factors responsible for this poor outcome are largely unknown; chronic inflammation due to failed allograft and malnutrition may contribute to morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare the nutritional status and its relation with inflammation in patients on HD with and without previous kidney transplantation. Methods:? Forty-three patients with failed renal allografts (27 males; mean age 36?��?9?yr) and 40 never transplanted HD patients (24 males; mean age 39?��?9?yr) were included in the study. Body weight, triceps (TSF), biceps http://www.selleckchem.com/products/jq1.html (BSF), subscapular (SSSF), and suprailiac skinfold thicknesses (SISF); mid-arm, mid-arm muscle, hip and waist circumferences; as well as body mass indices (BMIs) were determined as anthropometric parameters. Moreover, biochemical markers of nutritional status, including serum cholesterol and albumin as well as high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), as a marker of inflammation, were measured. Associations among these variables were analyzed. Results:? There were no significant differences considering age, gender or duration of renal replacement therapy between the two groups. The TSF (p? significantly lower than those of the never transplanted HD patients. Waist circumference was significantly lower as well (p?=?0.028). Patients with failed transplants were characterized by lower serum albumin (p?
