Abstract

Chronic Renal Disease (CRD) comprises the slow, progressive and irreversible loss of excretory, endocrine and metabolic renal function. Current analysis co-related the nutritional evaluation methods in patients undergoing hemodialysis in a private clinic in São Paulo, Brazil. The study was performed in a clinic specialized in CRD for over-18-year-old patients of both genders that were undergoing hemodialysis during data collection. Global Subjective Evaluation for patients with kidney diseases was applied. Body Mass Index (BMI), the triceps skin folds (TSF) and arm circumference (AC) were calculated after each session. The arm´s muscle circumference (AMC) was calculated and Spearman´s co-relationship was established between the results of subjective evaluation and anthropometric variables. Final sample comprised 50 patients, of which 36.6% were males and 63.3% were females, with 37 elderly people and 23 adults. Co-relation intensities between BMI and Questionnaire, between BMI and AMC, TSF and AC, and AMC and Questionnaire were respectively very weak, weak, weak and very weak. It should be underscored that, albeit weak, BMI v. AMC and TSF v. AC were statistically significant (p<0.05). Results show that the use of different nutritional evaluation methods reveals significant improvement in diagnostic standard in patients with CRD.
