ABSTRACT
Introduction: End-stage renal disease is associated with malnutrition and increased morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization. Cachexia and sarcopenia are characterized by loss of muscle mass, but cachexia is accompanied with increased catabolism, inflammation, insulin resistance and anorexia. Due to the similarity of these conditions they are often misdiagnosed. Thus, we evaluated the frequency of cachexia and sarcopenia in end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, the overlap of these identities and their association with quality of life.
Objective: Evaluate the frequency, overlap and relationship with age of cachexia and sarcopenia in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. As well as their association with other comorbidities and quality of life.
Material and methods: Observational, multicentric study of 79 patients. We analyzed the frequency of cachexia and sarcopenia and did a simple logistic regression to look for risk factors associated with these pathologies. Variables with a statistically significant difference (p ‹ 0.01) were included in a multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results: We found 18 patients (22.78%) had sarcopenia, 12 (15.18%) had cachexia and six (7.5%) had both. Age older than 60 years old associated with greater risk of cachexia and sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was associated with lower quality of life and diabetes mellitus. In the other hand, cachexia was associated with lower cognitive function, more depression, diabetes and physical quality of life.
Conclusion: The principal’s risks factors associated with cachexia and sarcopenia were age older than 60 years, diabetes mellitus and poor quality of life in the physical sphere.
