Abstract
In patients with end-stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis (HD), protein-energy wasting (PEW) is very common and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of nutritional status should be performed regularly in all such patients, using multiple methods. In this study, we analyzed the influence of several nutritional markers on long-term (5 years) survival of HD patients in one center. This is the first study on the...
