Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Dialysis patients often experience cardiovascular complications, and poor nutritional status and frailty are significant concerns. In this study, we will use the CONUT score to assess nutritional status and investigate its correlation with flow-mediated dilation test (FMD), a noninvasive vascular function test.

Background: The flow-mediated dilation (FMD) test is a noninvasive assessment of vascular endothelial function that measures vasodilation induced by nitric oxide released from the vascular endothelium. Hemodialysis patients often experience cardiovascular complications, and poor nutritional status and frailty are significant concerns. Nutritional management is critical for hemodialysis patients; in addition to restricting the intake of electrolytes such as potassium and phosphorus and fluid intake, it is necessary to replenish proteins and minerals lost through the dialysis membrane. Nutritional status affects vascular endothelial function and may lead to further cardiovascular complications. Furthermore, frailty associated with malnutrition has been reported in numerous studies as a poor prognostic factor for dialysis patients. The CONUT score is widely used at our hospital as an indicator of nutritional status during admission screening. However, the relationship between the CONUT score and FMD testing remains unclear.
Therefore, with the cooperation of the Kawagoe Minami Kidney Clinic, we will conduct a retrospective study to investigate the relationship between FMD and the nutritional status, health status, and prognosis of dialysis patients.
Objective: To evaluate nutritional status using the CONUT score and clarify its correlation with FMD test indicators.
Research Questions and Academic/Social Significance:
We believe that significant insights can be gained from the results of this study. If FMD appears to be influenced by nutritional management or frailty, we will implement nutritional control and rehabilitation to improve FMD. If this leads to improvements in health status and prognosis, it will significantly contribute to improving the quality of care for dialysis patients.
