Keywords: Malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis, nutrition, hemodialysis

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis components in hemodialysis patientswith end-stage renal failure.

Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in 49 volunteer hemodialysis patients in 18-65 years with end-stage renal failure. Anthropometric measurements of the patients [(body weight (kg), height (cm), waist circumference (cm), hip circumference (cm)] and body composition analysis were performed by the researcher, and malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) questionnaire was applied. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were recorded and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was measured.

Results: The median age of the patients was 49 years. Median CIMT was 0.6, median MIS was 11, CRP level was 0.6 mg/dL. There was a significant negative correlation between patients' body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-height ratio, total body fat, lean body mass values and MIS (p<0.05). There was a positive significant correlation between age, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, percentage of total body fat and CIMT (p<0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, while a significant relationship was not observed between the MIS and CRP and CIMT of patients, a significant relationship was found with some anthropometric measurement and body composition parameters that may be the indicator of malnutrition. Since the relationship between malnutrition and inflammation poses a risk for atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients, this patient group should be evaluated in terms of malnutrition and preventive measures should be taken.
