JASN: Prognostic significance of changes in body mass index and metabolic parameters in patients with chronic renal insufficiency before dialysis

Since the development and prognosis of CKD are closely related to hypertension and diabetes, body mass index (BMI) is considered to be an important clinical factor with prognostic significance in the CKD population, and is closely related to hypertension and diabetes

Results: This study included 84636 patients with CKD before dialysis

Figure The adjusted survival curve shows the cumulative risk of the results of the study

Table 1 Pre-dialysis patients with CKD judge the risk of adverse outcomes based on body mass index variability (VIM)

Table 2 Stratification of the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease before dialysis according to changes in body mass index

Table 3 The significance of changes in various metabolic parameters of CKD patients before dialysis on the prognosis

Conclusion: The higher the degree of variation of body mass index (BMI) and certain metabolic syndrome components of CKD patients before dialysis, the worse the prognosis
