                                According to research, up to 60% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can develop malnutrition inflammation cachexia syndrome (MICS). This complex wasting disorder is a result of a combination of malnutrition, systemic inflammation, and cachexia, leading to significant muscle and fat loss, which is particularly challenging to reverse with standard nutritional support alone.
