2021, Journal of International Health Sciences and Management

AI-generated Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on the nutritional status of hemodialysis (HD) patients, as chronic diabetes can impair kidney functions and nutrition. Methods: A total of 275 HD patients aged 18-65 were analyzed, with dietary intake recorded through 24-hour recalls. Key measurements included height, weight, fluid gain, and BMI. Results: Findings revealed that while diabetic patients had lower energy intake, they exhibited a higher BMI compared to non-diabetics. Additionally, a weak correlation was detected between dietary intake and the duration of hemodialysis in T2DM patients. Conclusions: The presence of T2DM affects nutritional intake in HD patients, highlighting the need for tailored nutritional strategies in this population to manage both diabetes and renal health.
