SUMMARY BACKGROUND One of the most important factors affecting the quality of life of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is nutrition. Prevention of malnutrition increases patients’ quality and length of life. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of malnutrition, quality of life, and the relationship between them in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). METHOD The study was conducted with a total of 60 CKD patients including 50 haemodialysis patients and 10 peritoneal dialysis patients. Patients’ data associated with socio-demographics, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, triceps skin-fold thickness (TSFT), pre-dialysis systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Kt/V and urea reduction ratio (URR) values, laboratory parameters, Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) and European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions (EQ5D) scale were recorded. FINDINGS Of the total 60 patients; 27 were male (45%), 33 were female (55%), 83.3% were receiving haemodialysis treatment (HD), and 16.7% were receiving peritoneal dialysis treatment (PD). The mean MNA-SF score was 10.4 ± 2.8 in the HD group and 10.5 ± 2.9 in the PD group; there was no difference between the scores of the HD and PD groups. The mean EQ5D score was 0.60 ± 0.29 in the HD group and 0.68 ± 0.33 in the PD group, no significant difference was found between the HD group and the PD group. The quality of life was found lower in malnourished group (p=0.001). CONCLUSION The quality of life needs to be increased by early diagnosis and treatment of malnutrition in patients at risk.

Objective: Chronic kidney disease and malnutrition are serious and frequently encountered co-morbidities among older patients. We evaluated nutritional status of older pre-dialysis patients and the effect of malnutrition on length of stay (LOS) in hospital. Materials and Methods: 65 years and over 33 hospitalized pre-dialysis patients with glomerular filtration rate between 10-30ml/min/1.73m2 were included. There is no control group. For all patients, biochemical analysis was performed. The malnutrition risk was evaluated with Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and LOS in hospital was recorded. Results: Mean GNRI was 98.4±12.9 and the mean MNA-SF was 8±3.15. For all patients, mean LOS was 10.58±9 days. According to MNA-SF, malnourished patients’ LOS was longer and a difference was observed between MNA-SF and GNRI in terms of LOS prediction (p=0.005, p=0.230). Conclusion: For older pre-dialysis patients, MNA-SF is probably a more sensitive index in terms of LOS in hospital prediction.

Protein calorie malnutrition is common in chronic kidney disease patients especially on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Multiple factors including mainly frequency and adequacy of dialysis and dietary habits may result in malnutrition besides other comorbidities. Different tools have been designed to analyze the nutritional status of dialysis patients including subjective global assessment, malnutrition inflammation score, Mini Nutritional Assessment– Short Form (MNA-SF) and several others. We assessed the nutritional status of our MHD patients using Mini Nutritional Assessment–Short Form (MNASF) Methods Total of 44 patients aged between 13 to 64 years, undergoing MHD for at least 6 months were included in the study. Results Out of 44 patients 63% patients were malnourished, 34% were at risk of malnutrition and 3% were having normal nutritional status according to MNA-SF. The mean of mid-arm circumference was low even in the presence of mean albumin and BMI within the normal range. Conclusion Nutrition is a neglected aspect of the dialysis patients. Multiple factors including poor socioeconomic status, lack of knowledge and poor dietary compliance lead to significant malnutrition among MHD patients.
