Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease affects 10% of the world’s population, once diagnosed it can be treated to slow its progression and avoid reaching advanced stages when the only alternatives to increase life expectancy are dialysis or kidney transplantation. Objectives: To identify the association between kidney function and nutritional risk in patients with chronic kidney disease who are treated at the dialysis center Serdidyv in the city of Guayaquil. Materials and methods: The study had a quantitative, non-experimental, longitudinal and retrospective approach. Values were obtained through a database and MDR-4 (Modification of diet in renal disease), formulas were applied and the NRI (Nutritional risk index) method in 80 patients from 40 to 64 years old. Results: Student T was found using “X” (MDRD) y “Y” (IRN) values from month 0 to month 4 is greater than student T statistical 1,99084707 therefore, the relationship between variables is fulfilled. Conclusions: Based on the data obtained by the formulas applied for the study, it was concluded that while the renal function decreases, nutritional risk in patients will be increased.
