Diet Patterns, Nutrition Status and Physical Activity in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and replacement therapy options are associated with malnutrition, which occurs in 30-50% of patients. Suboptimal nutritional status physical inactivity common peritoneal dialysis patients also consequences the restrictive diet, appetite loss, poor fitness. Materials methods: This single-center observational study aimed to analyze dietary intake, body composition, activity 19 (PD) Dietary assessment was performed a three-day 24-hour recall, while assessed composition measurements. Patients’ performance handgrip test sit-stand test. Each value expressed as percentage or mean ± SD. Continuous variables between normal values were compared using paired t-tests Wilcoxon signed ranks A two-tailed P <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The caloric intake 1545 295 kcal/day (21.4 kcal/kg BW/day), protein 0.8 g/kg BW/ day. mass index 24.4 2.9 kg/m2 , phase angle 5.2 0.9, lean tissue 14.5 2.8 adipose 9.3 3.6 . results sit-to-stand showed muscular weakness low intake. Conclusion: In our PD patients, average energy intakes inadequate according recommendations, related reduce muscle strength among observed profile. overall approach counseling is necessary improve
