Article Synopsis
- * A kidney biopsy showed inflammation and damage, but the man's condition did not meet the criteria for IgG4-related diseases or sarcoidosis; steroid treatment improved his symptoms.
- * After 5 years, the patient's condition worsened with an increase in neutrophils and a respiratory infection, leading to necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis, suggesting a link between persistent neutrophil increases, respiratory infections, and kidney complications in older adults with MPO-ANCA.
Aim: The target Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) for patients on chronic maintenance hemodialysis is unclear. We aimed to determine the relationship between the GNRI and independent walking ability in such patients.
Methods: In the present retrospective cohort study, 90 patients receiving chronic maintenance hemodialysis were included.
