Comparison of malnutrition inflammation score, anthropometry and biochemical parameters in assessing the difference in protein‐energy wasting between normal weight and obese patients undergoing haemodialysis

Aim Protein‐energy wasting (PEW) is prevalent in haemodialysis. Obesity is an independent risk factor of kidney insufficiency, but it is proposed to have beneficial roles in better outcomes in the final stage of disease. Better nutritional status and body reserves are among probable mechanisms, but direct examinations are limited. The present study aimed to investigate whether obese patients have preferable nutritional status compared to normal weight patients based on malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) and other PEW parameters in haemodialysis. Methods This case–control study investigated 52 normal weight (18.5
