Latest consensus and update on protein-energy wasting in chronic kidney disease.

TL;DR: Prevention and treatment of PEW should involve individualized and integrated approaches to modulate identified risk factors and contributing comorbidities and show stronger associations with unfavorable outcomes than fat loss.

Screening for muscle wasting and dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of available methods for assessment of muscle mass and functionality, with an emphasis on their accuracy in the setting of CKD patients, is presented, and the selection of reference cutoffs for defining conditions of muscle wasting and dysfunction is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of E3 ubiquitin-ligases MuRF-1 and MAFbx in loss of skeletal muscle mass.

TL;DR: This review aims to explore the involvement of MuRF-1 and MAFbx in catabolism of skeletal muscle during various pathologies, such as cancer cachexia, sarcopenia of aging, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sarcopenia and its individual criteria are associated, in part, with mortality among patients on hemodialysis.

TL;DR: Physical performance measures, including slow gait speed and weak hand grip strength, were associated with mortality even after adjustment for muscle size and other confounders, and neither sarcopenia nor low muscle mass by itself was a better predictor of mortality than functional limitation alone in patients receiving hemodialysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle wasting in end-stage renal disease promulgates premature death: established, emerging and potential novel treatment strategies

TL;DR: Recent studies on stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, myogenic stem (satellite) cells and manipulation of transforming growth factor family members hold promise for more effective therapies to target muscle mass loss and function in the future.

Multiple types of skeletal muscle atrophy involve a common program of changes in gene expression

TL;DR: Different types of skeletal muscle atrophy share a common transcriptional program that is activated in many systemic diseases including diabetes, cancer, and renal failure, according to cDNA microarrays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokines and major depression.

TL;DR: Although the central effects of proinflammatory cytokines appear to be able to account for most of the symptoms occurring in depression, it remains to be established whether cytokines play a causal role in depressive illness or represent epiphenomena without major significance.
