Abstract
LEAL-ESCOBAR, Gabriela; OSUNA-PADILLA, Iván Armando and MOGUEL-GONZALEZ, Bernardo. Medical nutrition therapy in chronic kidney disease; from dialysis to transplant: a case report. Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.2, pp.80-87. ISSN 2174-5145. https://dx.doi.org/10.14306/renhyd.20.2.189.
Chronic kidney disease has direct implications in nutritional status, causing anorexia and muscular catabolism. These situations are frequent in kidney renal replacement therapy in which nutritional disorders and inflammatory mechanisms associated with therapy often lead to the development of protein-energy wasting. Nutrition therapy has shown an adequate therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat metabolic alterations, reducing surgical and nutritional complication risks in kidney transplantation patients. The current case reports nutritional intervention on a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient who was subsequently prescribed to automatic peritoneal dialysis and, finally, kidney transplant from a living donor.
