Abstract
Rationale: the presence of wasting is common in the end stages of kidney disease and can be caused by poor food intake and changes in energy expenditure. Indirect calorimetry is the gold standard method to measure resting energy expenditure (REE) and has been used in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objectives: we conducted an observational and prospective study in 4-5 stages CKD patients and, in face of the new daily energy recommendations for this population, we aimed to access their REE, daily energy intake (DEI), and to evaluate the clinical and nutritional status during six months, in three different moments (T0 – the initial access, T1 – after three months from T0 and T2 – after 6 months from T0).
