MO601THE ASSESSMENT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND MORTALITY IN GERIATRIC PATIENTS WITH CKD 3B-5 STAGES

Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims:. the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases with age–almost 50% of people over the age of 70 have stage 3-5 CKD. Geriatric patients with pre-dialysis stages of CKD are recommended to assess the risk of absolute probability of death of the patient both in the case of starting dialysis and without it. Malnutrition in this group of patients is the risk factor of mortality. The EQUAL study, a European Quality Study on treatment in advanced chronic kidney disease, showed that according to the Subjective Global Assessment Scale the majority of the geriatric patients with with incident glomerular filtration rate <20mL/min/1.73m 2 (nondialysis) had a normal nutritional status (SGA 6-7), 26% had moderate PEW (SGA 3-5), and less than 1% had severe PEW (SGA 1-2). The aim is to assess prevalence of protein-energy wasting (PEW) and the absolute risk of death over 5 years in the geriatric patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Method Materials and methods: a study of 151 geriatric patients with stage 3B-5 CKD, average age 77 ±8.6. Patient inclusion criteria: age 60-90 years, CKD stage 3B-5 (GFR in CKD-EPI <= 45 ml / min / 1.73 m2. Patient exclusion criteria: oncological diseases; acute infections; severe mental illness (including alcoholism), any serious somatic diseases, according to the researcher. The patients were assessed by Subjective Global Assessment; to assess the estimated 5-year mortality rate, patient indicators were evaluated on the Banzal scale. All patients were evaluated for laboratory data (absolute number of lymphocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, creatinine, urea, total protein, blood albumin, total cholesterol, blood potassium, and proteinuria); The study group consisted of 105 patients with stage 3B CKD, 35 patients with stage 4 CKD, and 11 patients with stage 5 CKD. Results according to the SGA 66,7% of patients with CKD 3b stage have normal nutritional status, 26,6% patients are mild to moderate malnourishment, 6,7 % are malnourished. 60% of patients with CKD 4 stage have normal nutritional status, 31,2% patients had moderate PEW, 8,8% had severe PEW. In patients with CKD 5 72,7% had moderate PEW, 27,3% had severe PEW. The level of total protein in the blood serum is correlated with nutritional disorders on the SGA scale(r=-0.52) in geriatric patients with predialysis stages of CKD. During assessing the absolute risk of death within 5 years (Bansal Score) in 20.9% of patients with CKD3B, the estimated mortality rate was 40%, in 12.4% 54%, in 25.7% 69% and higher. All patients with stage 5 CKD had a mortality risk of 40% or higher. Indicators of the the Bansal scale significantly increased with a decrease in GFR (r= - 0.68, r=-0.46). The Banzal mortality index (r=0.32) significantly increased with increasing the level of serum phosphorus and uremia. Conclusion. The prevalence of nutritional disorders are observed in 33-40% of elderly patients with stage 3B-4 CKD and until 75% with stage 5CKD. During assessing the absolute risk of death over 5 years in the study population of geriatric patients with CKD stages 3B-5, a high risk on the Bansal scale (69% or higher) was observed in 25.7% with CKD stage 3B, 60%
