Abstract

Malnutrition in maintenance haemodialysis (HD) patients is closely related with morbidity and mortality in this population. To evaluate feasibility, performance and information given by SGA (subjective global assessment), a semi-quantitative method of nutritional evaluation (based on a medical questionnaire and a simple clinical examination) carried out by a group of 12 nurses. In March 1999, a feasibility study was organised to evaluate 9 patients during HD. Since July 1999, a nutritional evaluation of all the patients meeting the required parameters (e.g. duration of HD > 6 months, day sessions) has been set up every 4 months. In March 1999, preliminary results demonstrated an average learning time per SGA of 15'. In July 1999, 32 patients were evaluated, albuminemia (micromol/l) and pre-albuminemia (g/l) were analysed according to the SGA classification (A = good nutrition, B= light to moderate malnutrition, C= severe malnutrition). The albuminemia and the prealbuminemia of patients A (respectively 541+/-45 and 0.37+/-0.10) were higher than those of patients B (482+/-41 and 0.31+/-0.01), and those of patients C (381+/-54 and 0.19+/-0.1), by variance analysis (p < 0.0001). The information drawn from the SGA reveal a severe ma...Continue Reading
