The population in Kazakhstan is rapidly aging, as a result the number of geriatric patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) has been increasing. Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is one of the common complications that can lead to infections, cardiovascular diseases, frailty, and increased morbidity and mortality in these patients. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of PEW in elderly patients on MHD by using two different nutritional assessment tools and assess their association with clinical and laboratory measurements.
