Diagnóstico nutricional mediante el instrumento Valoración Global Subjetiva y su relación con Parámetros Bioquímicos en pacientes en Hemodiálisis de la Clínica de Diálisis S.A en el año 2016.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to relate the nutritional diagnosis through the global evaluation and the biochemical parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease in the hemodialysis treatment of the Clínica S.A. The study in with cross-sectional and retrospective research design, carried out in 70 male and female patients aged 50-60 years in the hemodialysis treatment, to assess the nutritional status of patients with chronic kidney disease as a nutritional screening the subjective global assessment where were taken biochemical parameters data such as albumin, creatine and total cholesterol in the clinical laboratory; the result of the subjective global assessment was analyzed in the greatest dispersion was obtained in the moderately or suspected malnutrition. After a correlation analysis regarding the parameter of albumin, was not found significant statistical difference in the means of the groups (p=0.962) and there was a mean of 3.7g/dL, for cholesterol the average was 167.6mg/dL, and was not obtained statistical significance for the mean difference in the groups (p=0.486); and for creatinine the mean was 9.2mg/dL, and it was obtained statistical significance (p=0.000). Therefore, we can observe that there is a poor concordance between the subjective global assessment and the biochemical parameters. This research can serve as a reference to implement the instrument of subjective global assessment biochemical parameters such as albumin, creatinine and cholesterol to the format already established to have a better nutritional diagnosis, in order to identify those patients malnourished or risk of malnutrition.
