Abstract
This cross section study aimed to assess the nutritional status of patients
with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) by using
malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) and its association with sociodemographic,
clinical, anthropometric, laboratory parameters and dietary intake.
Fifty ESRD patients undergoing HD (3 times / week, 4 hours /session) attended
HD Unit at Ain Shams University Hospital from September 2017 to December
2017 according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Every patient was
interviewed for socio-demographic, clinical, anthropometry, laboratory and
dietary assessments then the patients were classified into 3 groups based on the
MIS to normal nutrition (score: 0–5), mild malnutrition (6–10), and moderate to
severe malnutrition (≥11). from the obtained results it could be concluded that
HD patients with malnutrition had longer duration of dialysis (above 5 years),
lower albumin level (< 4 g /dl), impaired appetite and lower dietary intake of
both macronutrients and micronutrients compared to those with normal
nutrition. The high prevalence of malnutrition among these patients requires
regular assessment of nutritional status for proper nutritional intervention.
