Abstract

OBJECTIVE : In malnourished patients, in anthropometric measurements such as a decrease in the body-mass index (BMI), the triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness and the mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) are often determined along with weight loss. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of chronic hemodialysis patients by taking anthropometric measurements.
