QT Prolongation in Dialysis Patients: An Epidemiological Study with a Focus on Malnutrition

Conclusion: These results suggest that QT prolongation is a common complication and is more frequent in women and diabetic patients. The decreases in serum albumin and Cr levels, GNRI, BMI, %TBW, %ICW, FFM, and MM together coincided with malnutrition and thus suggest a close relationship of QT prolongation with malnutrition. Management of QT prolongation may be achieved better in the future by understanding these biochemical and biophysical changes, particularly those regarding malnutrition.Blood Purif
