Nutritional evaluation of patients on hemodialysis
Keywords:
anthropometry, food consumption, renal dialysis, dietetics, chronic renal diseaseAbstract
Objective
To evaluate the nutritional status, and the energy and nutrient intakes of a population undergoing hemodialysis
at the Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil.
Methods
From a pool of 47 outpatients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, 37 individuals (18 males and 19 females, aged 50.4 ± 16.3 years) were selected. The body-mass index was used to determine the nutritional status, and the diet was investigated through the 4-day food diary method.
Results
The results revealed a predominance of normal, eutrophic patients (62.2%), while presenting equal prevalence
of underweight and overweight patients (18.9% of them in each case). Regarding the diet, the findings of this
survey showed there was adequate protein-energy consumption. In general, the average daily intake of
nutrients was adequate, except for calcium and vitamin A, which presented only <50,0% and <70,0%, respectively, of the recommended daily intake.
Conclusion
These results indicate that careful attention should be paid to regional and national differences when considering the nutritional status and dietary intake of hemodialysis patients.
