Patients affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) are generally considered to be frailer than those with preserved renal function. We cross-sectionally evaluated the associations between frailty, malnutrition-inflammation syndrome and circulating inflammatory cytokines in 115 older individuals with advanced CKD. As for frailty definition, we adopted Fried's frailty phenotype (FP), while malnutrition-inflammation syndrome was assessed using the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) and circulating inflammatory cytokines (IL-6; TNFα; MCP-1). A total of 48 patients were frail, and mean eGFR was comparable in both frail and non-frail patients (24 ± 10 vs. 25 ± 11 mL/min/1.73 m; = 0.63). Frail patients had higher MIS (6 [4-11] vs. 4 [3-5]; < 0.0001) but cytokine concentrations were comparable in both groups. At multivariate regression, FP was independently associated with MIS, age, gender and pre-albumin but not with cytokines. However, we found some associations between inflammatory cytokines and some specific frailty criteria: weight loss and slowness were associated with MCP-1 (respectively = 0.049 and < 0.0001) and weakness with IL-6 ( = 0.005); in conclusion, in older patients with advanced CKD, frailty is strictly associated with malnutrition-inflammation syndrome but not with circulating inflammatory cytokines.

Malnutrition and inflammation are common problems of adverse outcomes in various diseases as atherosclerosis. Recently, the concept of malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome is known to a crucial prognostic factor in patients with end-stage renal disease. We investigated the prognostic impact of the co-presence of MIA factors in patients with lower-extremity artery disease (LEAD) after endovascular therapy (EVT).

Article Synopsis
- Protein-energy wasting and inflammation are significant risks for complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis, leading the study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Prognostic Inflammatory and Nutritional Index (PINI) as a screening tool for these issues.
- A 12-month study with 102 adult maintenance hemodialysis patients showed that a PINI score of < 1 was normal, with 64.7% of patients scoring normal and 35.3% scoring ≥ 1, which correlated with higher levels of inflammation markers like CRP.
- The results indicated that patients with a higher PINI score faced more acute events (such as COVID-19 infections) during the follow-up, suggesting that the PINI can accurately identify

Background: Low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an accepted marker for adynamic bone disease which is characterized by increased morbidity and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. In light of the known cross-sectional associations between PTH and malnutrition-inflammation syndrome, we aimed to examine the longitudinal associations between PTH with changes in nutritional and inflammatory parameters and clinical outcomes in MHD patients with low PTH.
Methods: This historical prospective and longitudinal study analyzed a clinical database at a single hemodialysis center, containing the medical records of 459 MHD patients (mean age of 71.

Malnutrition, inflammation, comorbid diseases, and inactivity are known causes of sarcopenia. It results in clinical consequences like fractures, falls, low quality of life, cognitive dysfunction, and mortality. Especially in the treatment of patients with prolonged immobilization syndrome, management should not only focus on functional limitations but patients should also be evaluated and followed up for sarcopenia.
