Poor nutritional status is one of the main risk
factors for mortality in hemodialysis patients and therefore
needs to be regularly assessed and treated. Close
collaboration between dialysis and dietetic staffs remains
essential to handle this challenge. Evaluation of the
nutritional status relies on biological parameters and
anthropometrics, with food intake records. The
recommended intakes are 1.2 g/ kg/day for proteins, and
35 Kcal/kg/day for energy in hemodialysis patients
