Clinical practice guideline on undernutrition in chronic kidney disease

Authors: Mark Wright, Elizabeth Southcott, Helen MacLaughlin, Stuart Wineberg

Published in: BMC Nephrology | Issue 1/2019

Excerpt

“Malnutrition” describes both over and undernutrition. In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) define malnutrition as “a state in which a deficiency of nutrients such as energy, protein, vitamins and minerals causes measurable adverse effects on body composition, function or clinical outcome” in their Clinical Guideline (CG 32) [1] and Quality Standard (QS24) [2]. These guidelines suggest that patients at high risk of malnutrition should be screened and referred for specialist support if it is present. …
