Relación del estado nutricional y valores de fósforo sérico en pacientes en hemodiálisis de la Clínica Farmadial-Daule 2016.

Abstract

This Work aims at analyzing the relationship between nutritional status and the levels of serum phosphorus in hemodialysis (HD) patients at FARMADIAL DUALE clinic in 2016 so that they can improve their quality of life. It is an observational and cross-sectional study, in which 70 male and female HD patients aged 45-75 years were assessed. Bioimpedance technology (Fresenius) was used to assess the body composition. Lean mass and BMI (body mass index) data were obtained. The food intake mas measured using block screening and albumin, creatinine, total cholesterol, and serum phosphorus were measured in clinical laboratory. The correlation analysis showed the relationship between the serum phosphorus and BMI (0.234) (P=0.051) and ma fat percentage of (0.231) (P=0.054); there is no relationship with the lean mass (0.105). It is concluded that if the serum phosphorus increases the BMI and fat mas decrease, that BMI and fast mass decrease, that is to say, there is malnutrition in patients. It is recommended to improve patient’s nutrition and provide more nutritional education to prevent hemodialysis chronic kidney disease patients from getting hyperphosphatemia.
