From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malnutrition-inflammation complex (syndrome), abbreviated as “MICS” and also known as "malnutrition-inflammation-cachexia syndrome", is a common condition in chronic disease states such as chronic kidney disease (where it is also known as uremic malnutrition or protein-energy wasting) and chronic heart failure.

The MICS is believed to be a cause of survival paradoxes seen in these distinct patient populations, also known as reverse epidemiology populations.
