Background and Objective: Handgrip strength (HGS) is used for continuous and systematic assessment of muscle mass related to nutritional status in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the HGS test to assess the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 104 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS This study determined the association between phase angle (PhA), by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and nutritional risk by Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), hospital length of stay (LOS) and 30 day non-survival in patients at hospital admission compared to healthy controls. METHODS PhA was determined by BIA in patients (n = 98...
