Wasting in chronic kidney disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2011
Wasting/cachexia is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is to be distinguished from malnutrition, which is defined as the consequence of insufficient food intake or an improper diet. Malnutrition is characterized by hunger, which is an adaptive response, whereas anorexia is prevalent in patients with wasting/cachexia.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE MODELING: AN OVERVIEW

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2020
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an infectious and fatal prion disease occurring in the family Cervidae. To update the research community regarding the status quo of CWD epidemic models, we conducted a meta-analysis on CWD research. We collected data from peer-reviewed articles published since 1980, when CWD was first diagnosed, until December 2018. We

Chronic Wasting Disease of Cervids

2004
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has recently emerged in North America as an important prion disease of captive and free-ranging cervids (species in the deer family). CWD is the only recognized transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) affecting free-ranging species.

Scrapie and chronic wasting disease

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2003
Scrapie and CWD share many features. There are marked similarities in the clinical presentations, the lesions, and the pathogenesis of these diseases, and some similarities in the epidemiology. Extrapolation from the scrapie model of TSE disease to CWD--which occurs in three different species, and should not be considered to be uniform in their ...

Muscle wasting in chronic kidney disease

Pediatric Nephrology, 2017
Loss of lean body mass is a relevant component of the cachexia, or protein energy wasting (PEW), syndrome. Reduced muscle mass seems to be the most solid criterion for the presence of cachexia/PEW in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and those with greater muscle mass loss have a higher risk of death.

ADRENAL FUNCTION IN CHRONIC WASTING DISEASES

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1960
ABSTRACT Plasma and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OH-CS) were measured in a group of 29 patients in whom body wasting was, with few exceptions, due to chronic disease. The total urinary 17-OH-CS output was low due to a reduction in the glucuronide conjugated fraction,but plasma free 17-OH-CS concentration and urinary free 17-OH-CS output were ...
