Nutrient intake, diet satisfaction and nutrition status of adult surgical orthopaedic patients admitted at university teaching hospital in Lusaka, Zambia Orthopaedic injuries are common globally with the highest prevalence reported in the sub-Saharan region. In hospitals, malnutrition is a significant proble...
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and modification of diet in renal disease-estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at admission and during hospitalization were tested for association with in-hospital and 1-year mortality. Logistic regression and conditional receiver operating curves were used ...
However the practice of ordering a 'renal diet' which consists of low protein, low salt, low potassium and low phosphate for all renal patients is common in the acute hospital setting. A total of 49 medical doctors were interviewed on their diet prescription practices for renal patients. In ...

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhu-EPO) has been an important therapeutic advance in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal fail...
12 The results of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease GFR and creatinine clearance were similar; for brevity, we provide in the tables only the results of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease GFR. Assessment of other factors Weight was reported on each biennial questionnaire. A part...
BACKGROUND: The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula and a modified version of the Cockcroft-Gault (CG(m)) formula adjusting for body surface area have been found to more accurately estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared with the original CG equation in specific patie...
Evidence associating diet with the incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is inconclusive. We aimed to summarize evidence associating dietary factors with RCC incidence and assess the strength and validity of this evidence. We conducted an umbrella revi

(seated office SBP/diastolic BP [DBP] ≥140/90 mm Hg but <180/120 mm Hg), (2) no history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, and (3) an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 40 mL/min/1.73 m2 or greater (using the formula from the Modification of Diet in Renal ...
The eGFR was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease method and renal dysfunction was defined as <60 ml/min/1·73 m2. In addition we systematically reviewed studies investigating the association between eGFR and outcome after stroke.ResultsOf 2520 patients who had an eGFR...
