The Correlation Between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Hemodialysis Adequacy in Hemodialysis Patients

Hemodialysis is the most common renal replacement therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease and has a dose that must be achieved, known as hemodialysis adequacy. In fact, many do not reach adequacy target. There are three main factors affecting adequacy: solute, patient, dialysis process. Patient important because these can modified, intervened, anticipated by nurses. One of interesting patient to study Body Mass Index (BMI). The purpose this was determine relationship between BMI This research conducted November 2021. used cross-sectional design consecutive sampling technique comprised 84 samples met inclusion exclusion criteria. data were collected using recording from medical records patients. post-hemodialysis weight parameters assessed looking at Kt/V score. results showed there significant (p=0.001) moderate strength negative pattern (r=-0.362); means greater value, less indicated maintaining normal increase prevent complications, improve quality life, reduce treatment costs, frequency hospitalization.
