Diagnóstico del estado nutricional a través de los criterios GLIM en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en terapia de hemodiálisis del Hospital de Especialidades Abel Gilbert Pontón en febrero-mayo del 2024.

Abstract

Background and objectives: Chronic kidney disease is the absence or functional loss of the kidneys that is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids in our body, making dialysis therapy necessary. Metabolic stress causes an imbalance in their caloric and protein expenditure, it can produce a state of malnutrition either mild, moderate or severe and a reduction in their muscle function and amount of muscle in dialysis patients. To determine the Nutritional Status through the GLIM criteria in patients with chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis therapy at the Abel Gilbert Ponton Specialty Hospital. Method: The research has an exploratory and descriptive level and scope, our type of approach is quantitative, descriptive, observational, non-participatory. The research design is non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive for observation, interpretation, and analysis. Results: With a sample of 50 dialysis patients aged from 17 to 75 years, 46.0% were moderately malnourished and 54.0% severely malnourished by the GLIM criteria. According to the EWGSOP2 more than 60% were diagnosed with sarcopenia classified as probable, confirmed and severe. It was determined that patients with sarcopenia have a longer dialysis time than those without sarcopenia with a mean difference of -3.07. Conclusion: By implementing the GLIM criteria and the assessment of sarcopenia, they were of great help in assessing their nutritional status so that we could strive to improve the well-being and quality of life of people undergoing hemodialysis therapy.
