Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with functional changes in the central nervous system (CNS) which, in the initial stages do not manifest clinically. Early involvement of the CNS can be identified by the assessment of the electrocortical activity. Visual evoked potential (VEP) and brain-stem auditory evoked response (BAER) are useful tests for the early diagnosis of CNS involvement in CKD and are more sensitive compared to electroencephalography.

Article Synopsis
- Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, leading to increased health risks; the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) effectively links malnutrition to health outcomes such as hospitalization and mortality.
- The study of 100 CKD patients revealed a 60% prevalence of malnutrition, with a significant correlation between MIS and various health parameters, including BMI and kidney function indicators.
- Identifying malnutrition and inflammation early in CKD can help target interventions, improving the quality of life for affected individuals.
