Assessment of Nutritional Status of Patients on the Maintenance Hemodialysis at Tertiary Care Hospital using Malnutrition Inflammatory Score

Objective: To determine the frequency of protein energy wasting among end stage renal disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
 Study Design: Cross-sectional analytical study.
 Place and Duration Study: Department Nephrology, Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from May 2019 to Mar 2020.
 Methodology: Two hundered diagnosed with end-stage hemodialysis were included in study. Protein-energy was assessed using Malnutrition inflammatory score comprising four x components: medical history, physical examination, laboratory parameters body mass index. used categorize protein-energy wasting.
 Results: Out 200 ESRD hemodialysis, 73(36.5%) had mild, 120(60.0 %) moderate, 7(3.5%) severe wasting. The advanced age group, multiple comorbid (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease), duration (> 2 years) a statistically significant association (p-value < 0.05). also more prevalent low monthly income 0.04).
 Conclusion: is common hemodialysis.Old comorbid, are important risk factors.
