Chronic kidney disease, especially in end stages, affects the nutritional status of patients, by creating an imbalance between intake and expenditure of energy and nutrients. This imbalance can lead to two nutritional disorders, with similar clinical presentations: malnutrition and sarcopenia. Malnutrition implies weight loss, whereas sarcopenia can occur in patients with obesity, called sarcopenic obesity. There are various criteria and cut-off points for each of these disorder diagnoses, leading to different results.
