Energy consumption, palmar grip strength and lean mass of hemodialysis patients

Abstract

CKD is a complex disease with a significant impact on quality of life, longevity, use of medical resources and public health expenditures. Patients with CKD experience a drastic change in their lives, living with many limitations that include painful hemodialysis treatment, rigid diet ototherapy, changes in family, professional and social daily life and more frequent thinking in death, which leads the individual to have a negative perception about his health (SANTOS et al., 2019).
