Comparing adjusted ORs for deciles of anthropometric measurements.

<p>The fifth decile serves as the reference group. Each decile includes approximately 1,100 participants. BMI: Body Mass Index, WHR: Waist to Hip Ratio, WHT: Waist to Height Ratio.</p

Association of anthropometric measurements with chronic kidney disease (CKD) defined as eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m² using restricted cubic splines.

<p>(A) Body Mass Index: using knots from 15 to 45 by 2.5 unit intervals and the reference point of 22.5 kg/m². (B) Waist Circumference (cm) with knots ranging from 60 to 140 by 10 unit intervals and the reference point of 90 cm. (C) Waist to hip ratio (WHR): using knots ranging from 0.7 to 1.4 with 0.1 unit intervals and the reference point of 0.9. (D) Waist to height ratio (WHT): using knots ranging from 0.4 to 0.9 with 0.1 unit intervals and the reference point of 0.6.</p

Living Well With Kidney Disease and Effective Symptom Management: Consensus Conference Proceedings

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) confers a high burden of uremic symptoms that may be underrecognized,underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Unpleasant symptoms, such as CKD-associated pruritus andemotional/psychological distress, often occur within symptom clusters, and treating 1 symptom maypotentially alleviate other symptoms in that cluster. The Living Well with Kidney Disease and EffectiveSymptom Management Consensus Conference convened health experts and leaders of kidney advocacygroups and kidney networks worldwide to discuss the effects of unpleasant symptoms related to CKD onthe health and well-being of those affected, and to consider strategies for optimal symptom management.Optimizing symptom management is a cornerstone of conservative and preservative management whichaim to prevent or delay dialysis initiation. In persons with kidney dysfunction requiring dialysis (KDRD),incremental transition to dialysis and home dialysis modalities offer personalized approaches. KDRD isproposed as the preferred term given the negative connotations of“failure”as a kidney descriptor, and thesuccess stories in CKD journeys. Engaging persons with CKD to identify and prioritize their personal valuesand individual needs must be central to ensure their active participation in CKD management, includingKDRD. Person-centered communication and care are required to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion;education/awareness that considers the health literacy of persons with CKD; and shared decision-makingamong the person with CKD, care partners, and providers. By putting the needs of people with CKD,including effective symptom management, at the center of their treatment, CKD can be optimally treated ina way that aligns with their goals.</p
