Handgrip Strength and Serum Uric Acid Levels are Associated with Dialysis-Malnutrition Scores in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Protein-energy-wasting (PEW) is common and contributes to increased mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Herein we aimed to investigate the relationships between the parameters of malnutrition including dialysis malnutrition score (DMS), bioimpedance analysis (BIA), handgrip strength (HGS) in chronic HD patients. MATERIAL and METHODS:Forty chronic HD patients (mean age:58±18 years; males:22) were enrolled. Mid-arm circumference (MAC) measurements and BIA were performed. HGS was measured by a Jam… Show more
