Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the status of malnutrition in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its association with dialysis duration. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study comparing three groups: the dialysis group (100 CKD patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, the pre-dialysis group (20 CKD patients indicated for dialysis but not yet undergoing treatment), and the healthy control group (50 individuals). Results: The aneamia rate in end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients was 99%. There was a decreasing trend in red blood cell indices and an increasing severity of aneamia in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The degree of aneamia showed a tendency to worsen over time with dialysis. Plasma albumin levels decreased with age, with the lowest levels observed in the >60-year-old group (p=0.001). Conclusion: Aneamia is a frequent condition in end-stage CKD patients and tends to worsen with prolonged dialysis. Emphasis should be placed on nutritional management for CKD patients, particularly those undergoing hemodialysis.
