Helicobacter pylori Eradication Improves the Malnutrition, Inflammation and Atherosclerosis Syndrome in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutics targeting persistent inflammation in chronic kidney disease

“…It is of interest that antibiotic treatment improved appetite scores and led to increased s-albumin levels although it decreased the systemic inflammatory marker TNF. 58 As higher dietary fiber intake associated with better kidney function and lower inflammation, 59 adequate dietary intake of fiber may also benefit this pathway. Fructose.…”

Anorexia and Appetite Stimulants in Chronic Kidney Disease

“…Given that diabetes is a frequent comorbidity in dialysis patients, chronic diabetic gastroparesis may also be an additional problem resulting in reduced nutrient intake. More recently, bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome was also proposed as a cause of anorexia and inflammation in PD patients [26]. This disturbance results in prolonged abdominal distension and an exacerbated feeling of satiety, in addition to severely impacting in patient's quality of life.…”

Other indirect causes of anorexia may relate to stomach irritation caused by medicines such as iron compounds or phosphate binders.…”
