Nutrition status among hemodialysis patients receiving anabolic steroid
Abstract:
ESOS was the study of Short Course Oral Oxymetholone on Skeletal Muscle in
maintenance of hemodialysis patients was conducted at The Kidney Foundation of Thailand
Kallayaniwattana Building Priest Hospital.
This research was a randomized double-blinded control trial. The samples consisted
of 43 patients undergoing hemodialysis 3 times per week.The intervention group (n= 21)
received 1 tablet of oxymetholone 50 mg. twice daily; whereas, the control group (n= 22)
received 1 tablet of placebo twice daily. The period of the study was 24 weeks. The data for
dietary intake used 3-day food records. Protein, energy and fat and biochemistry parameters
such as albumin, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG were collected once a month. Anthropometry
measurements were height (ht), dry weight (dry wt), MAC (mid arm circumference), TSF
(triceps skin fold), BSF (bicep skin fold), SSCP (sub-scapular skin fold), SUSSP (suprailiac
skin fold), MAMC (mid arm muscle circumference), and percent body fat. Nutrition status
was determined by nutrition score: percent standard body weight; TSF; MAC; MAMC; and
albumin. They were both collected at base line and the end of study. All statistical significant
was determined at p-value < 0.05
The results of this study indicated that there was no significant difference in the
amount of protein intake/day as compared with nPNA (normalized protein equivalence of
nitrogen appearance). There were no differences in nutrient intake between the 2 groups either
at baseline or throughout the study. The protein intake significantly increased (0.77±0.21,
0.90±0.18 g/kg/day) only in the control group. Albumin in the control group was significantly
increased (3.92±0.24, 4.10±0.25 g/dL); whereas, in the intervention group it did not change.
When comparing the results the baseline and the end of the study in the intervention group
there were increases in MAMC (22.63±2.48, 23.84±2.03) and dry wt (53.61±8.79, 55.15±8.25
kg) but decreases in TSF (13.15±6.11, 11.17±5.12 mm) and percent body fat (24.70±10.32,
22.37±9.96), while MAC did not change. Where as in the control group, there were increases
in MAMC (23.66±2.73, 24.71±2.96) and MAC (27.70±3.95, 28.17±3.98 cm) but dry weight,
TSF and percent body fat were not changed. In addition, the mean nutrition score of both
groups were in normal (17.70±2.77, 17.82±2.50) and did not change at the end of the study
(17.50±2.31, 17.50±2.43)
In conclusion in both groups there was no correlation between selected nutrients and
body composition and there was no change in the nutritional status among hemodialysis
patients during ESOS study.
