Resumen

This was a cross-sectional observational study that aimed to determine the frequency of malnutrition in adult patients with stage V chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. The sample consisted of 105 adult patients diagnosed stage V chronic kidney disease who received hemodialysis at the “Virgen de la Puerta” High Complexity Hospital in Trujillo, Peru. We applied the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS), 97 (92.4%) patients presented malnutrition, of which 20% had mild malnutrition, 37.1% had moderate malnutrition and 35.3% had severe malnutrition; only 8 patients (7.6%) presented normal nutritional status. In conclusion, we found a high frequency of malnutrition among patients diagnosed with stage V chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis.
