Aim and objectives: To assess the malnutrition in hemodialysis patients and trying to find relation between nutrition and some factors and conditions that affecting nutrition to avoid these factors to make nutrition of ESRD cases on dialysis better. Subjects and methods: This prospective observational research involved 200 individuals with chronic kidney failure on hemodialysis. This research was performed in nephrology unit in Beni- Suef university hospital From January 2022 for 6 months. Results: There was a highly negative significant association among MNA score and each of age, Dialysis Duration and Total cholesterol while there was highly negative significant correlation among MNA score and each of BMI and Hb. MNA score was between 12–29 with a mean value of 22.43±3.644. relation between HTN and MNA score and it show no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: we concluded that CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis were mostly either malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. BMI, obesity, anemia, age, dialysis duration are the main factors that affecting the nutrition | ||||
