assessed by performing anthropometric measurements [(Height,
Weight,Body mass index (BMI),Triceps skinfold (T.S.T),Arm
circumference (AC)and Arm muscle circumference (AMC)]related
biochemical analysis (Hemoglobin,Urea,Creatinine,AST,ALT,
Sodium,Potassium,Calcium and Phosphorus).
Subjects were pre and post tested by constructed interviewing
questionnaire sheet used to collect demographic and medical data in
addition to knowledge about diet.Moreover assessment sheet was
used to assess patients nutritional&biochemical analysis.Patients
were given nutrition counseling and prescribed diet contained 1.2 g
protein /kg /day of good sources.Findings revealed that there was
an improvement inpatient’s nutritional status and biochemical
analysis after conducting the program.
In conclusion the study findings pointed out that specified
nutritional program containing high protein of good sources have a
positive impact on nutritional and health status of patients with
chronic renal failure on haemodialysis.
Replication of the study on larger sample and long duration is
recommended.
