Material And Methods: TLD 100 dosimeters were used to measure absorbed doses by brightness curves.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the nutritional status of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), highlighting the risk of several nutritional issues due to the condition.
- - In a sample of 52 HD patients with a mean age of 46.51 years, results showed that the majority had mild to moderate malnutrition, indicating significant concerns about their nutritional health.
- - The findings emphasize the need for a dedicated monitoring protocol for the nutritional status of these patients to improve their overall health and reduce complications associated with CKD.
Background: There is no national registry on dyslipidemia and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) goals by risk groups for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) focused on beneficiaries of the Mexican Institute for Social Security (IMSS).
Objective: To determine the frequency of dyslipidemia, LDL-c goals and patients in treatment from high and very high-risk groups of ACVD.
Material And Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional, descriptive study.
