Prevalencia de desnutrición calórico proteica en pacientes hemodializados crónicos

摘要: Background: Malnutrition has been strongly associated with morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. In the other hand, dialysis allows a nutritional improvement patients more than 12 months dialysis. Aim: To study prevalence of malnutrition among hemodialysis. Patients methods: We measured clinical, anthropometric biochemical parameters status chronic hemodialysed Results were related to individual time less compared. Results: Twenty nine (18 male) aged 14 65 years old, studied. Mean caloric intake was 23,8 Cal/Kg protein 0,7 g/Kg. body mass index 21.7±3.7 kg/m2 Thirty eight percent had 20 kg/m2. serum albumin 4.1±0.7 g/L; mean prealbumin 33.5±7.9 mg% creatinine 9.6±2.8 mg%. Serum cholesterol 182 triacylglycerol 129 PCR 42.2±18.8 Kt/V 1.45±0.3. did not find correlation between markers or difference Conclusions: These have high malnutrition, which may be due poor intake. Protein normal most The absence abnormal lipid levels, common renal failure, is noticeable. (Rev Med Chile 2001; 129: 495-502).
