| Popis: | Objectives Gastrointestinal symptoms are common in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and have been associated with reduced health-related quality of life and malnutrition. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of taste changes in an ESKD population and to evaluate whether taste changes are associated with the presence or severity of other nutrition-related symptoms and malnutrition. Methods We conducted a retrospective audit of people with ESKD on conservative, nondialysis management or renal replacement therapy who had completed a taste change assessment. Taste change was assessed on a Likert scale from none to overwhelming. Descriptions of taste changes were also collected. Other outcomes included gastrointestinal symptoms collected using the iPOS-renal symptom inventory, nutritional status, and biochemical parameters. Results In total, 298 patients were included in our analysis. Taste changes were reported in 38% of this cohort. Taste changes were significantly associated with upper gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and dry/sore mouth) and malnutrition. Conclusions Our findings indicate that taste changes are highly prevalent and probably under-recognized in ESKD. Further investigation of the association with malnutrition is needed. Future trials are needed to evaluate strategies to manage taste changes in this population. |
