N2 - The aim of this study was to detect the potential occurrence of early abnormalities of body composition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at first referral to an outpatient nephrology clinic. Eighty-four patients with CKD (49 men and 35 women) were compared with 604 healthy control subjects (298 men and 306 women). Anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were performed in all participants, whereas renal function, laboratory tests for nutritional status, and nutrient intake were assessed in the CKD group only. Creatinine clearance was 27.8 ± 13.8 and 27.4 ± 13.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in male and female patients with CKD, respectively. No patient showed peripheral edema; frank malnutrition, defined by presence of serum albumin 2; or protein intake
