Protein-calorie malnutrition and cutaneous anergy in hemodialysis maintained patients

VK Bansal, S Popli, J Pickering, TS Ing, LL Vertuno and JE Hano

In 52 unselected patients maintained in intermittent hemodialysis, protein calorie malnutrition was present in 10 patients (19%). Complete cutaneous anergy to four intradermal skin antigens. (Candida, tuberculin, Streptokinase-dornase, and mumps) and failure to respond to contact sensitization to dinitrochlorobenzene was present in 60% of the patients. No correlation between cutaneous anergy and protein calorie malnutrition could be demonstrated.
