Nutritional and Hydration Status in Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis Patients

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw to your attention an old, albeit relevant, topic: the nutrition and hydration status of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dialysis patients. There are many correlations that link derangement of metabolic hydration status resulting by Chronic Uremic Diseases and Dialysis on the various body organs. Nowadays, it is especially essential and would be very useful to reconduct a state-of-the-art study on CKD and dialysis patients, especially in elderly patients. Therefore, innovative papers are welcomed that cover the following topics: methods for establishing the extent of hydration for various organs of the body, nutritional correlations that induce variation in body water content and vice versa, procedural strategies to optimize nutrition and hydration, metanalyses, the results of intervention procedures to optimize the nutritional and hydration status, and the impact of new diffusive and/or convective haemodialysis and peritoneal methodologies. These issues are particularly difficult to study making it even more challenging to identify the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
