Deger S, Hung A, Gamboa J, Siew E, Ellis C, Booker C, et al.
JCI Insight . 2017 Dec; 2(22). PMID: 29202452
Background: Systemic inflammation and muscle wasting are highly prevalent and coexist in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We aimed to determine the effects of systemic inflammation on skeletal muscle protein...

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle . 2017 Feb; 8(3):500-507. PMID: 28150400
Background: Recent data suggest that sodium (Na ) is stored in the muscle and skin without commensurate water retention in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. In this study, we hypothesized that...

Malhotra R, Deger S, Salat H, Bian A, Stewart T, Booker C, et al.
J Ren Nutr . 2016 Nov; 27(2):84-90. PMID: 27876469
Objective: Sarcopenic obesity (SO), a combination of low muscle mass and high fat mass, is considered as risk factor for mortality in general population. It is unclear if SO affects...

Denny G, Deger S, Chen G, Bian A, Sha F, Booker C, et al.
BMC Nutr . 2016 Jul; 2. PMID: 27413537
Background: Protein energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and closely associated with poor outcomes. Insulin resistance and associated alterations in amino acid metabolism are potential...

Deger S, Hung A, Ellis C, Booker C, Bian A, Chen G, et al.
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol . 2016 Jun; 11(7):1227-1235. PMID: 27281699
Background And Objectives: Protein energy wasting and systemic inflammation are prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and have been shown to improve protein...

Hung A, Booker C, Ellis C, Siew E, Graves A, Shintani A, et al.
Nephrol Dial Transplant . 2014 Sep; 30(2):266-74. PMID: 25204316
Background: Chronic systemic inflammation is common in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis (CKD5D) and has been considered a key mediator of the increased cardiovascular risk in this patient...

Hung A, Ellis C, Shintani A, Booker C, Ikizler T
J Am Soc Nephrol . 2011 Feb; 22(3):437-42. PMID: 21310819
Chronic inflammation is highly prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and associates with increased mortality. IL-1β, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is elevated in MHD patients. A balance between IL-1β and its...
