Abstract

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing regular dialysis experience a decrease in protein levels and reduced energy reserves in the liver, which can easily lead to malnutrition. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of malnutrition and some related factors in patients undergoing regular dialysis. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 220 patients and their caregivers who were undergoing regular dialysis at Can Tho


City General Hospital from March to April 2024. Results: The prevalence of malnutrition based on body mass index (BMI < 18.5) was 29.5%, while the prevalence of malnutrition based on serum albumin levels was 30.4%. Several factors increased the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing regular dialysis: patients over 60 years old, education levels of lower secondary school or below, poor and near-poor economic status, dialysis duration over 4 hours, and patients without a restricted diet or nutritional counseling (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The rate of malnutrition is high among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing regular dialysis. Improving dietary habits and receiving nutritional counseling may reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in these patients.
