Protein-energy wasting is one of the common complications of maintenance hemodialysis patients. It often causes decreased immune function, increased anemia, and decreased heart, brain, lung and other organ functions, resulting in decreased quality of life, decreased long-term survival rate, and increased mortality. This article discusses the causes, diagnosis, evaluation methods, intervention and prevention of protein-energy wasting in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and aims to provide a theoretical basis for evaluating the nutritional status, early intervention for protein-energy wasting, and improving prognosis and quality of life of maintenance hemodialysis patients.
