Simplified nutritional screening tools for patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a prevalent complication in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Nutritional screening tools may be useful to identify those patients at nutritional risk from among hundreds of hemodialysis patients in a large facility. OBJECTIVE We tested several simplified nutritional screening tools on hemodialysis patients to validate the potential application of the tools. D...
متن کاملUse of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index for Nutritional Screening in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
BACKGROUND: To explore the use of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) to screen maintenance hemodialysis patients at nutritional risk in Taiwan. METHODS: GNRI was used to assess nutritional risk in 179 hemodialysis patients. Two sets of GNRI cutoff values and a ‘no nutrition-related’ risk assessment were used to divide patients into groups with different nutrition-related risks. For each cl...
متن کاملAssessment of Adequacy of Hemodialysis and Nutritional Status in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis at Dialysis Centre
Background: In patients suffering from ESRD quality of life can be maintained by hemodialysis, CAPD or renal transplant. Adequate dose of hemodialysis is necessary for good quality of life. The hemodialysis adequacy is one of the most important issues influencing the survival of patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Aim: To compare Kt/V measurement by online clearance module with conventional e...
متن کاملNutritional assessment with bioelectrical impedance analysis in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Protein energy malnutrition is common among persons with ESRD and contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality. The usual methods of nutritional assessment, such as anthropometry, can be misleading because of altered tissue hydration. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been recommended by some as a practical nutritional assessment tool but has not been validated in patients with...
متن کاملNutritional Status and Immune Functions in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
Epidemiological studies suggest various kinds of immune dysregulation in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between immune functions and nutritional status of HD patients. We studied 54 patients with ESRD on chronic HD, included 34 females and 20 males with mean age 46.6 +/- 16.3 (18-77) years. We measured the height and dry weight of all patie...
