Nutritional status and its relationship with COVID-19 prognosis in hemodialysis patients

CONCLUSIONS: higher body mass index and higher body fat content, along with lower baseline levels of triglycerides and ferritin, are significantly associated with higher COVID-19 mortality in patients on chronic hemodialysis. These findings suggest that the initial nutritional status of these patients can significantly influence the prognosis of SARSCoV-2 infection.PMID:38666342 | DOI:10.20960/nh.04850
