A Study to Assess the Nutritional Status of Kidney Failure Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis
Abstract: Malnutrition is a common and serious complication among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and is strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The present study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of patients on maintenance hemodialysis and to identify factors contributing to protein-energy malnutrition in this population.

A Study on the Incidence, Prevalence, and Causative Factors Associated with Intradialytic Hypotension During Maintenance Hemodialysis
Abstract: In Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD), Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH) is a significant issue, occurring in around 15–30% of dialysis sessions and greatly affecting patient well-being and health outcomes. This study followed a group of 50 MHD patients for six months to investigate the frequency, prevalence, and causes of IDH. The findings revealed that having a low serum albumin level (<3.5 g/dL) was the most reliable indicator of IDH (OR: 4.1, 95% CI: …
