Resumen:
Alterations in the sense of smell (dysosmia, anosmia, hyposmia) are
frequently experienced by patients with chronic kidney disease. However,
currently, the aetiology and consequences are poorly understood, with no
effective treatments available to address such impairment. In general,
the capacity of olfactory perception is affected in patients with
chronic kidney disease (even in those who have not undergone dialysis
therapy), and whether these alterations improve after dialysis is
disputed. Patients in peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis have the
same olfactory perception defects. Kidney transplantation improves
olfactory perception, and one important consequence of such impairment
is the potential impact on the patient's nutritional status. (C) 2019
