Abstract
Background: Morbidity and mortality envisaged by chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a health menace throughout the world. Complications, incidence, prevalence, the impact of dietary recommendations, risk factors, outcome, and management strategies have not been rationalized due to several adversities resulting in escalated death rates. The objective of this study was to evaluate and establish a malnutrition information score (MIS) as a means of ease of CKD prevention and progression. MIS underlies the consistencies in findings through MIS show higher values can be corroborated to recommend the augmentation parameters in utilizing MICS techniques and other healthcare types of equipments. 
 Methods: A randomized, non-biased sampling of patients presenting to dialysis unit with their maintenance schedule program in the nephrology department of Medical Unit-3 of PIMS, Islamabad were introspected for inclusions. Personal history, BSF thickness and MAC values were measured, and MAMC was calculated by = MAC – (3.1416 x TSF). The study was conducted in the Department of Nephrology, PIMS, Islamabad for a duration of six months.
 Results: The study conducted across 59 male patients and 33female patients indicate that males are more susceptible to CKD than females as evidenced by clinical stability of 67%. Appetite loss, degree of severity, Co-morbidity, BMI, MIS range, and clinical stability status of 100 study participants show variable indices indicating the stress on personal and family history of the patients. MIS pose as an indicator for determining the apt Malnutrition-Inflammation Complex Syndrome (MICS) and other types of equipments for treating CKD. 
 Conclusion: CKD patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis analyzed for dietary balance affirm the utility of MIS in determining the MICS and other types of healthcare equipments indirectly in ensuring reduction in morbidity and mortality.
