Several studies suggest an association between improved survival and better nutritional status. It has been suggested that there is a correlation between dose of dialysis and nutritional status. However, in spite of the current practice, there are conflicting reports regarding the relationship between dose of dialysis or malnutrition, and biochemical outcome. In this article, we will discuss the impact of dose of dialysis on nutritional status and biochemical outcome in hemodialysis patients. We will also mention the interrelationships of dialysis dose, malnutrition, and biochemical outcome with respect to these patients.
