Valoración analítica de parámetros bioquímicos nutricionales y su relación con el tiempo de tratamiento de hemodiálisis en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 que asisten al Centro “Serdidyv” de la ciudad de Guayaquil en el periodo de abril de 2016 a mayo de 2017.

Abstract

Malnutrition is a popular topic in patients on hemodialysis. Several studies have shown the association between the signs of malnutrition and the decrease in biochemical markers with the rate of morbidity and mortality in patients. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between nutritional biochemical parameters and the time of hemodialysis treatment in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 who attend to "Serdidyv" dialysis center in Guayaquil. This study has a quantitative, non-experimental, retrospective and cross-sectional approach with a relational scope. The results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, percentages and p -values. The Pearson Chi-square test was used to establish the degree of relationship between the variables of interest. The researched population consisted of 191 patients considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, 36.1% were women and 63.9% were men, with a mean age of 55.88 ± 16.07 years, the treatment time was 40.65 ± 20.93 months and the mean dialysis number was 501.83 ± 268.73 with a 95% confidence interval. The information was obtained from the database of medical records. According to the results, the p value= 0.428 indicates that there isn´t a statistically significant correlation between nutritional biochemical parameters and the time of treatment in hemodialysis.
