It closely related to the morbidity and mortality like susceptibility to the infection, long standing fatigue and disruption of wound healing. Therefore, asesment of nutritional status and nutritional management play a central role in nephrological practice. The aim of this study to investigate the nutritional status in dialytic patient over 5 years at Sanglah Hospital. A cross-sectional study was performed on 38 maintenance dialytic patients over 5 years in Sanglah Hospital from August until September 2014. There is several method to evaluate nutritional status in chronic dialytic patients, body mass index, subjective global assessment-dialysis malnutrition score (SGA-DMS), muscle strength from dynamometer handgrip measurement and biochemical parameter laboratorium like albumin and serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were used. Based on body mass index; 15,8% patient was suffered from malnutrition and overweight 28,9%, meanwhile on albumin parameter 39,5% mild malnutrition; 7,9% moderate malnutrition and 2,6% severe malnutrition. Serum TIBC showed 7,9% severe malnutrition; 31,6% mild malnutrition and 31,6% moderate malnutrition. From handgrip strength, 72,7% was suffered from malnutrition. Using malnutirition score (SGA-DMS), be obtained mild malnutrition about 18,4%. Malnutrition is common among dialytic patients but majority in maintenance dialytic patients over 5 years at Sanglah Hospital include in good nutritional status and mild malnutrition.
