Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between altered sense of smell and protein-energy wasting (PEW) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly focusing on those with moderate-to-advanced stages and those undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
- - Researchers tested the smell abilities of 139 individuals using an odor identification test and assessed their nutritional status with a malnutrition inflammation score (MIS); results showed CKD patients had poorer odor scores and higher inflammation indicators compared to healthy controls.
- - Although advanced CKD patients had significantly impaired olfactory function, the study found no strong statistical connection between their smell abilities and the severity of PEW, indicating that while both issues are prevalent, they may not directly impact each other
