Abstract
Objectives To compare the differences in different nutritional status of the maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patient’s dialysis age through relative nutritional index. Methods 186 cases of non–hospitalized MHD patients were collected, study has used the to test MHD patient’s nutritional indexes were detected by body composition analyzer, anthropometric and laboratory indexes, including body mass index (BMI), protein, body fat rate, muscle weight, visceral fat area, triceps skinfold thickness and arm muscle circumference, albumin, total cholesterol, TG and CRP. Results According to the dialysis age, the 186 cases of patients were divided into three groups ( 72 months), and there was no statistical significant difference (P 72 months were significantly lower in AMC and BMI than those in the group <36 months, while the TSF and body fat was significantly higher in the group<36 months than other groups. Conclusions The older the dialysis age is, the lower the BMI, muscle and fat are; the MHD patients whose dialysis ages are more than 72 months should strengthen nutrition guidance and nutrition monitoring, so that the malnutrition patients can have timely individual nutritional therapy which will prolong their survival time, improve their life quality, and reduce their mortality.
