Serum Zinc Levels in Chronic Kidney Disease patients, Hemodialysis Patients, and Healthy Controls: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are liable to changes in zinc homeostasis through anorexia and dietary restrictions, as well as hemodialysis (HD). Changes in zinc homeostasis might predispose CKD and HD patients to specific adverse effects, including erythropoietin-resistant anemia, oxidative stress, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. Since serum zinc levels are rarely measured in CKD and HD patients, zinc supplementations do not represent a routine therapy for CKD and dialysis patients. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Currently available handouts for low phosphorus diets in chronic kidney disease continue to restrict plant proteins and minimally processed dairy products.
The 2020 KDOQI guidelines recommend adjusting phosphorus intake achieve and maintain normal serum phosphorus levels for adults living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These guidelines also recommend considering the dietary source of phosphorus as different sources have different bioavailability, however phosphorus food lists are not provided. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the current teaching materials in Canada regarding low phosphorus diet. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

The Nutritional Risk Index as a Predictor of 90-Day Dialysis Dependence After Acute Renal Failure: A Pilot Study
Return of sufficient renal function to discontinue dialysis following acute renal failure is an important clinical and patient-oriented outcome. Our study sought to develop a model using the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) to predict 90-day dialysis dependence. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Combination of QCT and blood biochemistry for evaluating the relationship between nutrition and bone mineral density in patients on maintenance hemodialysis
Whether there is relationship between nutritional factors and osteoporosis in patients on maintenance hemodialysis is unclear. We provide evidence to show an association between low albumin levels and the presence of osteoporosis in these patients. Abdominal fat and muscle mass have different effects on bone mineral density in these patients. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)
