Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Cachexia is a prevalent multifactorial syndrome in cancer and chronic diseases.
  • It is frequently underdiagnosed, leading to inadequate or absent treatment.
  • Cachexia significantly impacts patients' and families' biopsychosocial well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide clinicians with practical guidance on assessing, classifying, and managing cachexia.
  • To emphasize a stage-based, multimodal approach to cachexia management.
  • To highlight the importance of interprofessional collaboration in addressing cachexia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical practices and research in cachexia.
  • Development of a framework for cachexia assessment and staging.
  • Recommendations for multimodal interventions including nutrition and exercise.
  • Emphasis on interdisciplinary team collaboration.

Main Results:

  • Underdiagnosis and undertreatment of cachexia are significant issues.
  • Multimodal management strategies are essential for effective cachexia care.
  • A staged approach to cachexia management is proposed.
  • Interprofessional collaboration is key to optimizing patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Early screening, accurate diagnosis, and timely management of cachexia are critical.
  • A collaborative, multimodal approach improves quality of life for patients with cachexia.
  • Integrating cachexia management into palliative care enhances patient support.
