- Abstract
Background. Many patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) are malnourished and cross‐sectional studies show that markers of malnutrition may predict death. Serum albumin (S‐albumin), the commonest nutritional marker, has been criticized because it is so closely related to the effects of inflammation and other non‐nutritional factors. Consequently, we need other nutritional markers that can predict outcome. However, males and females differ as regards body composition and it is not known how this may influence the predictive power of different nutritional markers.
