Objective To collect the nutrition data in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from stage 1 to 4 and provide the basis for further intervention by analyzing the specific problems of the patients. Methods A total of 132 CKD patients from stage 1 to 4 were enrolled between December 2012 and December 2013. Nutritionists used inbodyS10ww as a body composition analyzer to test the patients. The data from inbodyS10ww and laboratory indexes were analyzed on marasmus, overweight and obesity, risk of malnutrition, malnutrition, anemia and hypoalbuminemia. Results The percentage of marasmus in those CKD patients was 3.0%, overweight and obesity was 39.4%, the risk of malnutrition was 22.7%, malnutrition was 19.7%, anemia was 34.1%, and hypoalbuminemia was 9.8%. Conclusion Our search shows that combining the application of anthropometry and laboratory indexes can evaluate the nutritional status of patients with CKD. The most common nutritional problems in CKD patients include malnutrition, overweight and obesity, risk of malnutrition, and anemia. As for hypoalbuminemia, it is low in early CKD patients.
