Leptin Parameters are Associated with Inflammation and Both Anthropometric and Serum Markers of Protein-Energy Wasting in Hemodialysis Patients

OBJECTIVE: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) and inflammation are common and related to increased cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Herein, we aimed to investigate the relationships between adipocytokines, inflammation and serum and anthropometric markers of PEW syndrome in HD patients
