Nutritional Status is Associated with Inflammation and Predicts a Poor Outcome in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure.

abstract：:Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk not only for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) but also for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review article, we summarize the current evidence of CKD as a high-risk condition for CVD based on reports from Japan and other countries to draw attention...
