ALB and chronic kidney disease: Although several methods are available for early detection and nutritional assessment, including validated nutritional screening tools (malnutrition-inflammation score, subjective global assessment, mini-nutritional assessment), some biochemical parameters (s-albumin, s-CRP), as well as BIA-derived measurements (phase angle, body cell mass, extracellular body water, total body water, etc.)[21], in practice, their use and interpretation in isolation, do not provide a complete nutritional diagnosis in CKD patients in clinical settings.
