EVALUATION OF DIETARY MACRO AND MICRO NUTRIENT INTAKE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to assess dietary intake of hemodialysis (HD) patients and to determine if they are meeting the dietary reference values.Methods: A food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) designed for HD was used. The data analyzed by Nutritionist-4 and SPSS-23 reported as Mean ± Standard Error [SE].Results: Total of 100 HD patients (58 Female, 42 Male; age 55.05±1.8 years; weight 65.43±1.54 kg) were interviewed. Data analysis indicating; calorie intake 1306.54±53 kc (calorie percentage: protein 20%, carbohydrate 56.28% and fat 23.51%), protein 65.18± 2.9 gr, carbohydrate 178.16±7.7 gr, fat 33.55±1.05 gr, cholesterol 235.3±13.24 mg, linoleic acid 4.16±0.24 gr, oleic acid 6.31±0.33 gr, linolenic acid 0.33±0.025 gr, DHA omega3 0.04±0.03 gr, EPA 0.02±0.002 gr, vitamins(A 1238.60±79.84 mcg,B1 1.18±0.04 mg,B2 1.11±0.04 mg,B3 28.1±1.7 mg,B5 3.92±0.18 mg,B6 1.62 ±0.09 mg, biotin 15.03±0.73 mcg, folate 141.52±8.19 mcg,B12 1.86±0.08 mcg, C 55.5±3.86 mg, D 0.48±0.63 mcg, E 3.93±0.21 mg, K 91.4±6.74 mcg), dietary fiber 11.51±0.57 gr, α-tocopherol 2.56±0.12 mg, sodium 800.74±39.7 mg, potassium 1927.48± 88.50 mg, calcium 435.8±20.03 mg, iron 10.09±0.39 mg, magnesium 184.34±8.02 mg, zinc 5.68±0.25 mg, manganese 1.3±0.05 mg, fluoride 172.01±8.21 mcg, chromium 0.05±0.003 mg, selenium 0.08±0.003 mg, copper 0.70±0.03 mg, phosphorus 865.98±40.4 mg. Based on renal-specific recommendations; energy, fat, protein, calcium, chromium, copper, fluoride, magnesium, selenium, sodium, potassium, zinc, vitamins (C,D,E, B1,B2,B5,B12,folate,biotin), α-tocopherol, dietary fibers and essential fatty acids were below needed amounts and cholesterol intake was above normal range.Conclusion: A large proportion of interviewed HD patients did not meet dietary recommendations
