Abstract

"Background: Malnutrition has been strongly associated with morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. In the other hand, dialysis allows a nutritional improvement in patients with more than 12 months in dialysis. Aim: To study the prevalence of malnutrition among patients in hemodialysis. Patients and methods: We measured clinical, anthropometric and biochemical parameters of nutritional status in chronic hemodialysed patients. Results were related to individual time in dialysis. Patients with more and less than 12 months in dialysis were compared. Results: Twenty nine patients (18 male) aged 14 to 65 years old, were studied. Mean caloric intake was 23,8 Cal/Kg and protein intake was 0,7 g/Kg. Mean body mass index was 21.7
