Nutritional status assessment in patients with stomach cancer

Abstract

Nutritional interventions during hemodialysis help patients with chronic kidney disease improve their nutritional status and prevent malnutrition. The present secondary research, titled "Critical Review: Effect of Protein Supplementation on Albumin Levels in Adult Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease," aimed to analyze whether oral protein supplementation increases serum albumin levels in adult patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The clinical question was: Does protein supplementation improve serum albumin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis? Evidence-based nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. The search was conducted in Medline and Cochrane databases, finding 21 articles, of which 8 were selected and evaluated using the CASPE critical reading tool. The final selected randomized clinical trial was titled "Intradialytic Protein Supplementation Reduces Inflammation and Improves Physical Function in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients," which has an I evidence level and strong recommendation grade, according to the researcher’s expertise. The critical commentary concluded that protein supplementation in hemodialysis patients increases serum albumin levels and has other associated effects related to inflammation.

El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como finalidad identificar si un producto, como una barra de cereal elaborada con avena, chocolate, frutos secos y enriquecida con hierro, tenía aceptación en los estudiantes universitarios. Por lo que se elaboraron tres diferentes formulaciones diferenciados en la concentración de chocolate y sangre. De la cual la formulación tres tuvo mejor aceptabilidad. Quedo demostrado que se puede ofrecer un producto novedoso, que además de aportar energía, se logró obtener un snack nutritivo que aporte hierro y puede cubrir un importante porcentaje del requerimiento diario de este mineral esencial como el hierro.
