Malnutrition–inflammation complex (syndrome) (MICS), 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 malnutrition) and chronic heart failure.

| Differential diagnosis | 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.[1]
