Study on nutritional status of maintenance hemodialysis patients.
The nutritional status of 75 maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients was evaluated according to the dietary intake analysis, anthropometric measurements, biochemical and immunological parameters in this study. Furthermore, some possible factors which would affect nutritional status of hemodialysis patients were discussed. The results showed that hemodialysis patients demonstrated a high incidence of malnutrition. The low intake of protein and calorie, metabolic acidosis and inadequate dialysis would worsen the malnutrition while erythropoietin treatment improve the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients. Based on these results, suggestions were proposed for the improvement of nutritional status of MHD.
