| [ Summary ] |
SGA, MIS, and GNRI have been utilized to evaluate and screen the nutritional state of dialysis patients. SGA is a subjective nutritional screening tool, which has been used to evaluate the nutritional state of patients, including dialysis patients. MIS has been established as a screening tool to evaluate malnutrition inflammation complex syndrome in dialysis patients. GNRI has been recently proposed as a simplified nutritional screening tool for elderly patients. It is also utilized for nutritional screening of dialysis patients in Japan. All these treatment options have advantages and disadvantages, and there is no widely accepted "gold standard". Therefore, it is important to combine treatment methods according to situations at individual institutions and evaluate the nutritional status of dialysis patients accurately and efficiently, which will lead to prompt and appropriate nutritional treatment. |
