Malnutrition at the initiation of dialysis is a strong predictor of subsequent increased mortality
on dialysis. Few studies have documented the relationship between the progression of renal
failure and spontaneous dietary protein intake (DPI) and other indices of malnutrition. In this
prospective study, renal function was sequentially measured by creatinine clearance (CrCl)
and DPI by 24-h urine collection; simultaneously, multiple sequential biochemical nutritional
indices, including serum albumin, transferrin, prealbumin, and insulin-like growth factor-I …
