MALNUTRITION-INFLAMMATION SCORE, ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICES, AND ERYTHROPOIETIN REQUIREMENT IN GERIATRIC HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

Abstract

Conclusions: In both geriatric and adult (< 65 years) hemodialysis patients, malnutrition-inflammation score is correlated with weekly erythropoietin dose per weight and erythropoietin resistance index. Moreover, malnutrition and inflammation is more often observed among geriatric hemodialysis patients compared with adult (< 65 years) hemodialysis patients
