Abstract
In Poland, over 21,000 patients are treated with renal replacement therapy by hemodialysis. On average, half of them have impaired nutritional status. The state of nutrition of hemodialysis is influenced by a number of factors, both the cause of chronic kidney disease, the effect of the disease itself, and the result of its treatment. Regularly conducted assessment of nutritional status and response to disorders would reduce the risk of complications and deaths in this group of patients. The paper presents the most important factors affecting the nutritional status of hemodialyzed patients.
