Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with global prevalence ranging from 11-13%. The process of chronic inflammation and malnutrition in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is a medical condition that affects the quality of life. This study aims to determine the correlation of hs-CRP levels and nutritional status with quality life of CKD patients undergoing HD. This research is an analytical study, cross sectional design, conducted in December 2019 - March 2020 at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. Based on the fisher's exact test of 37 samples, a significant correlation was found between hs-CRP and physical health (p = 0. 037, PR 1.6) and with psychological well- being (p = 0.045; PR 1.78). There was no correlation found between hs-CRP with social relations (p = 0.091; PR 1.7) and the environment (p = 0.078; PR 1.54). A significant correlation was found between nutritional status and several domains including physical health (p = 0.038; PR 1.6), psychological well-being (p = 0.005; PR 2.09), social correlations (p = 0.011; PR 2.48), and the environment (p = 0.012; PR 2.02). The study determinded that there was correlation found between hs-CRP levels with physical health and psychological well-being and between nutritional status with all domains of quality of life.
