Riesgo nutricional en pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica en estadio V entre 40 A 60 años de edad, que acuden a la Unidad de Diálisis “SERDIDYV” de la ciudad de Guayaquil en el período de octubre 2018 a febrero del 2019.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease causes the inability of the kidney to perform numerous functions. Then it must be said that it directly affects the nutritional status. The objective of the study was to determine the nutritional risk in patients with stage V who attend the "Serdidyv" dialysis unit in the city of Guayaquil. The study has a qualitative approach, with a descriptive scope and non-experimental design; the sample consisted of 45 patients, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the nutritional diagnosis by means of the BMI of the Serdidyv clinic it was found that 53.3% of the patients are with normal weight, 28.9% with overweight, 11.1% with obesity I and 6.7% with Obesity II. In the results obtained from the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) screening, it was found in the patients that 71.11% had no risk of malnutrition, 15.56% had a slight risk and 13.33% had a moderate risk. With the other method used, the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), 86.67% of patients were at intermediate risk and 13.33% at high risk. It was shown that there is no relationship between the results of the MUST method and the nutritional diagnosis of the Serdidyv clinic. On the other hand, regarding the IRN method and the nutritional diagnosis of Serdidyv, a similarity was found in the patients who are not at risk of malnutrition, but not in those who can be found in the category of mild and moderate malnutrition in the NRI.
