[Evaluation of protein compliance in patients with chronic renal insufficiency undergoing hemodialysis treatment].

The majority of hemodialyzed patients manifests a proteic malnutrition. This metabolic status is a main factor in the morbidity and mortality of such subjects. It is therefore necessary to dispose of more adequate diagnostic instrumentation to offset this highly invalidating condition. The ongoing and severe evaluation of the nutritional status by means of up-to-date and sophisticated techniques such as antroproteic parameters may contribute to the maintenance of good conditions while refraining the evolution of various and often lethal complications induced by chronic renal failure.
