Özet

Objective: Wasting and malnutrition are problems frequently encountered in patients undergoing hemodialysis that may increase morbidity and mortality. The malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST) is a quick and easy-to-use nutritional screening tool. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of MUST by comparing two accepted nutritional screening methods in hemodialysis patients.
