Article Synopsis
- The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is an important marker for predicting mortality in elderly patients (over 80) with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- During a study of 359 patients, it was found that those with a low PNI (< 39) had higher mortality rates and lower levels of critical health markers like albumin and hemoglobin.
- The findings suggest that PNI can effectively assess nutritional status and may help in monitoring and improving patient outcomes in this age group with CKD.
