In dialysis patients, protein-energy wasting (PEW) is associated with high mortality, and some indicators of PEW, such as serum albumin value, subjective global assessment (SGA) score and handgrip strength (HGS), may predict mortality. However, whether PEW is associated with poor renal outcomes and whether the indicators of PEW can predict renal outcomes in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD-ND) is still unclear.
