With the inflammatory process associated with various types of neoplasia, patients may develop hyporexia, weight loss, sarcopenia and cachexia, directly influencing body composition, especially muscle mass depletion, basal energy expenditure and treatment outcome. Resting energy expenditure estimation methods generally do not yield accurate results, and the variation in this type of patie…
Renal transplantation is considered the best choice of treatment and rehabilitation for patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) in the terminal stage, providing better quality of life and prolonging life expectancy, compared to patients maintained on chronic dialysis. The project objective is to assess the associations between nutritional status and protein oxidative stress in patients …

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has altered nutritional status due to protein and energy catabolism commonly present in this population. Thus, serial and longitudinal assessment of nutritional status is important because it allows early detection of worsening of the condition, guiding a timely and resolute intervention. In this context, vector electrical bioimpedance (BIVA) has been highligh…
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has a high morbimortality rate, strongly related to the presence of muscle depletion and excess fat. Thus, there is a need for adequate and easily applicable methods to the clinical routine to evaluate body composition, allowing the implementation of an early and resolutive intervention. In this context, bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) has been …
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stands out as a global health problem, whose prevalence and incidence rates are high and increasing. Both the pathophysiology of CKD as well as the diverse effects of the available treatments alter the body composition in order to compromise nutritional status. As a consequence, CKD has a high morbimortality rate. Thus, appropriate methods for assessing nutrit…

Objective: To elucidate the mechanisms by which chronic inflammation and insulin resistance influence the development of protein energy wasting (PEW) in patients with end stage renal disease. The specific aim is to test the hypothesis that inhibiting inflammatory response by administration of Anakinra or increasing insulin sensitivity by administration of Actos will improve net protein me…
