Abstract titles should be brief and reflect the content of the abstract.
Patients undergoing hemodialysis are prone to sarcopenia due to various factors, including declining physical function prior to dialysis, protein-energy wasting, inflammation and metabolic disorders. Periods of inactivity due to dialysis treatment also contribute to the development of sarcopenia. Therefore, it is particularly important for patients to ingest the necessary energy and protein. Therefore, they should take only the minimum necessary medication to treat hyperphosphataemia.
However, Mongolia does not have access to the wide variety of medications available in Japan. Consequently, phosphorus management must be adapted to the limited range of available medications. This study aimed to investigate the physical condition, energy intake and protein intake of Mongolian hemodialysis patients with sarcopenia, and to provide basic information for examining nutritional management approaches needed in Mongolia, including phosphorus management.
Subjects were seven outpatients with sarcopenia undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at the Medvic Dialysis Center who consented to participate in the study.
We obtained information on their blood test values, energy and protein intake, and asked them about their dietary habits.
This survey was conducted as part of the International Committee of the Japanese Society for Technology of Blood purification's support for dialysis technology in developing countries.
The subjects were four men and three women with an average age of 59.9 years (range 47–69 years) and an average dialysis history of 122.6 months (49–304 months). Two of them had diabetes. Their BMI was 23.5 (16.2–29.1) kg/m² and their energy intake per standard body weight was 35.9 (29.0–46.3) kcal/IBW kg, with a protein intake of 0.8 (0.65–0.98) g/IBW kg. Blood data included a serum albumin concentration of 4.1 (3.7–4.4) g/dL and a serum phosphorus concentration of 4.7 (2.1–6.1) mg/dL. To prevent hyperphosphataemia, the patients consumed small amounts of protein, or no protein, at every meal. Many patients regularly consumed high-energy foods such as biscuits and other sugary snacks.
Although the subjects had sarcopenia, their BMI and serum albumin concentrations were normal, and they were consuming sufficient energy. However, their protein intake was significantly lower than that recommended by the KDOQI, ESPEN and Japanese guidelines.We found that Mongolian hemodialysis patients were trying to consume sufficient energy while restricting their protein intake. However, this amount of protein is insufficient to prevent sarcopenia while suppressing increases in serum phosphorus concentrations. Furthermore, we recommend paying attention not only to underweight, but also to sarcopenic obesity.
