title: [Monitoring the nutritional status in patients on hemodialysis].
abstract: In order to monitor changes of the nutritive status of hemodialyzed patients, antropometric and laboratory parameters of the population of hemodialyzed patients in 1988 vs. 1994 have been compared. Antropometric parameters were measured by the same investigator. The results show absence of significant difference between antropometric parameters (body weight after hemodialysis, body mass index, triceps fold, circumference of upper arm and percentage of fat) in the patients hemodialyzed in 1988. The laboratory parameters (albumin and transferrin), however, show significant increase in the 1994 group. In the group of patients subjected to hemodialysis in 1988 as well, albumin was significantly elevated. Nevertheless, no differences in laboratory parameters in healthy populations of 1988 and 1994 were noted (controls). It was concluded that no significant changes in the nutritive status were present among either the population or the same patients, while elevation of laboratory parameters necessitate further investigation.
