Evaluación nutricional en pacientes con Insuficiencia Renal Crónica que acuden al centro de diálisis Serdidyv, en la ciudad de Guayaquil, durante el periodo 2018-2019

Abstract

The nutritional status of patients with stage 5 of chronic kidney disease is vulnerable due to a strong association between the indicators of malnutrition and inflammation resulting from the constant dialysis performed and high mortality of this pathology. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out constant nutritional evaluations and individualized diets to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in this population. Objectives: Evaluate the nutritional status of patients with chronic renal failure in stage G5 who undergo hemodialysis at the Serdidyv center. Methodology: This is a descriptive, transversal and non-experimental work with a qualitative approach, with a universe consisting of 169 patients in total and a sample of 49 people, using the CONUT and MNA-SF index as tools. Results: The CONUT had 53% slight risk and 4% with moderate risk and 43% without risk. The Mini Nutritional Assessment-SF presented 55% risk of malnutrition, 20% in malnutrition and 25% normal. Conclusion: The nutritional status has a very close relationship with the presence of the pathology, more than 50% of the population presented risk to malnutrition. The nutritional advice should be the first recommendation to the patient, both as a renoprotective measure, and to prevent overweight and malnutrition in dialysis patients.
