Nutritional status evaluation and survival in haemodialysis patients in one centre from Romania

Abstract: In our haemodialysis patients, advancing age, diabetes and heart failure were associated with worse nutritional status, as estimated by anthropometry, biochemical markers and BIA. Age >or=55 years, the presence of diabetes, nPNA <1.2 g/kg day, lower SGA score, %BF <15% and PhA <6 degrees were associated with significantly increased death risk.

“…With regard to dialysis, annual mortality is estimated at 10-15% in the absence of malnutrition while this rate rises to 30% among malnourished patients [7]. It is very important to assess the nutritional status of patients on dialysis, in view of preventing protein-energy malnutrition and provide adequate treatment to malnourished patients [8,9].…”

“…Although an abnormal nutritional status is frequently reported in MHD patients, there is no single nutrition parameter that can predict PEW [15][16][17]. We hope to take advantage of a simple nutritional marker to make recommendations and improve the outcomes of MHD patients.…”

“…Furthermore, BMI and weight loss rate may not be linked to clinical improvement of health-related outcomes, in comparison to different body composition measures by simple and non-invasive methods, which demonstrated a strong relationship between mortality, body lean mass and adipose tissue [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] . In conclusion beyond the BMI, there are overwhelming evidences towards a more detailed description of the individual phenotype by characterizing the main body components as free-fat mass (FFM), muscle mass (MM), and fat mass (FM).…”
