Abstract :

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence and prevalence rapidly increase in the whole world and usually results in bad outcomes. In Indonesia, from some nephrology departments, CKD incidence predicted around 100-150 in each million people and prevalence rate reach 200-250 cases in each million people. Patients with CKD who were not treated properly can develop to end stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD patients on hemodialysis still have high morbidity and mortality rate around 15-20% each year. Malnutrition that found and treated at early hemodialysis is important to get the best outcome and also better quality of life for patients. Some procedures can be used to measure nutritional state. These procedures are anthropometry (body weight, arm circumference (AC), and triceps skinfold thickness (TST) measurements), laboratory (serum albumin, transferrin), DEXA, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This cross sectional study on 52 patients aged ≥ 18 years old on regular hemodialysis twice a week for more than 3 months, in hemodialysis unit at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia started from December 2013 until total sample collected. Correlation between each variable analyzed with Spearman correlation and linear regression. This study showed average TST measurement value in this study was 21.4 mm (7.26), phase angle (PhA) average value in this study in regular hemodialysis patients was 5.160 � 1.29 , and correlation between TST and PhA showed moderate relation in this study with correlation coefficient value (r) 0.577.
