J Ren Nutr . 2024 Jun; 35(1):136-145. PMID: 38848802
Background: Low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an accepted marker for adynamic bone disease which is characterized by increased morbidity and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. In light of...

Beberashvili I, Azar A, Khatib A, Hamad R, Neheman A, Efrati S, et al.
J Ren Nutr . 2022 May; 33(1):147-156. PMID: 35597322
Objective: Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO) are linked to unfavorable prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) populations. We tested whether nonobese sarcopenia and SO, as different stages of extreme protein-energy wasting,...

Cohen-Cesla T, Azar A, Hamad R, Shapiro G, Stav K, Efrati S, et al.
Nutr Res . 2021 Jul; 92:129-138. PMID: 34304058
Diagnosing malnutrition by the recently published Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria requires using modern techniques for body composition measurements. We hypothesized that the prevalence of malnutrition identified by...

Beberashvili I, Cohen-Cesla T, Khatib A, Hamad R, Azar A, Stav K, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 Apr; 11(1):9087. PMID: 33907250
Despite experimental evidence of beneficial metabolic, antiatherosclerotic and antiinflammatory effects of the 30 kDa adipokine, adiponectin, maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with high adiponectin blood levels have paradoxically high mortality rates....

Balboul Y, Gurshumov A, Azar A, Stav K, Efrati S, Beberashvili I
Int Urol Nephrol . 2020 Apr; 52(7):1345-1356. PMID: 32333319
Purpose: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios have been proposed as emerging markers of inflammation and prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. However, to date, no longitudinal performance of...

Beberashvili I, Ptashkin E, Azar A, Hamad R, Koren S, Stav K, et al.
Clin Nutr . 2020 Feb; 39(10):3199-3205. PMID: 32107057
Background: Obestatin, a physiological opponent of acylated ghrelin, is linked to appetite suppression regulation in mice but its anorexigenic properties in humans are controversial. We aimed to investigate obestatin's potential...

Beberashvili I, Samogalska O, Azar A, Stav K, Efrati S
J Ren Nutr . 2020 Jan; 30(5):452-461. PMID: 31980325
Objective: Higher serum alkaline phosphatase (sALP) levels associate with a poor prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients. However, little is known about the meaning of lower sALP in this population. We...

Beberashvili I, Baskin O, Azar A, Katkov A, Feldman L, Gorelik O, et al.
Asia Pac J Clin Nutr . 2018 Nov; 27(6):1207-1215. PMID: 30485918
Background And Objectives: The potential side effects of common phosphate binders are gastrointestinal in practice. We hypothesized that regular use of phosphate binders may be associated with decreased appetite, dietary...

Nutrition . 2018 Nov; 59:7-13. PMID: 30415161
Objective: The biological basis of abdominal obesity leading to more severe outcomes in patients with normal body mass index (BMI) on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is unclear. The aim of this...
