Abstract

Introduction: Fragility and sarcopenia could decisively influence the exitus of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Objective: To determine the risk of death of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis who present with sarcopenia and frailty. Materials and methods: A systematic search of research published between 2013 and 2018 was carried out in open access databases specializing in health sciences: Google Scholar, Ebsco, PubMed, Redalyc, Scielo and Lilacs. Results: After the search, nine international studies and one national study were compiled. No local studies were located. Conclusions: Sarcopenia and fragility are associated with a worse nutritional and clinical condition, as well as a worse prognosis in the elderly patient undergoing hemodialysis.
