  This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of dietary assessment in hemodialysis patients by comparing the nutrition intake estimated from two food record forms with the actual nutrition intake. Thirty-nine outpatients receiving stable maintenance hemodialysis in Japan were analyzed. Each patient was provided meals with known nutrient contents for two days and instructed to record the food intake at each meal using a standard food record form (method A) or a semi-quantitative food record form (method B). Each patient underwent two assessments by the two methods in a crossover manner. The concordance proportions between estimated dietary food intake by method A or method B and the actual dietary intake were compared for energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, potassium, phosphorus, and salt. Estimated energy intake using method B (96.2%) was significantly closer (p<0.05) to actual energy.. View More»
