Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition and poor food intake are prevalent issues for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), affecting their overall health and quality of life (QOL).
- A study involving 107 adult CKD patients showed that their average energy and protein intake significantly fell below recommended levels, with over 75% experiencing inadequate nutrition.
- Despite satisfactory overall QOL, nearly half of the participants reported moderate pain and discomfort, highlighting the need for tailored nutrition counseling and continued support from healthcare teams to improve dietary adherence and QOL.
