| 초록 | Background: Evaluation of nutritional status is essential clinical procedures for managing renal transplantation patients, especially in status of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, no standard method for assessing the nutritional status in renal transplantation patients with CKD exists. The GNRI is a very simple and objective method to assess nutritional condition, using only three objective parameters: body weight, height and serum albumin values. Methods: We examined the GNRI scores of 184 renal transplantation patients (50.2±11.3 years; 115 men and 69 women). The GNRI is calculated based on the serum albumin level and total lymphocyte count and uses the following equation: GNRI=[14.89×albumin (g/dL)]+[41.7×(weight/ideal body weight)]. Logistic regression analysis was performed for predicting malnutrition in renal transplantation patients. Results: The average GNRI value was 104.8±10.6, and GNRI values were normally distributed. According to logistic regression for predicting malnutrition, serum albumin and CKD predicted malnutrition in renal transplantation patients. Conclusions: These results suggest that GNRI may be a significant nutritional marker in renal transplantation patients. The simple GNRI method is a clinically useful marker for the assessment of nutritional status in renal transplantation patients. |
