Malnutrition among hemodialysis patients can be estimated using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)–Dialysis Malnutrition Score (DMS) which is simple and reliable. The purpose of this research was to know the relationship between energy intake, protein, and potassium with nutritional status SGA in renal failure patients who were treated by hemodialysis in hospital Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. The design of this research was analytical observational by using prospective cohort approach. The number of respondents was 57 patient. Recall method was used to measure intake of energy, protein, and potassium with 2 × 24 h recall a week, as well as the measurement of SGA–DMS. Bivariate statistical tests using correlation are testing the significance of the relationship or difference with a 95 % confidence level and with α = 5 %. There was a relationship between the protein intake (p = 0.035) with SGA, there was no relationship between the energy intake (p = 0.242) with SGA, and there was no link between intake of potassium with SGA (p = 0.603) in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study showed which is no significant relationship between energy intake with SGA, there was a relationship of protein intake with SGA and there was no relationship between intake of potassium with SGA.

DOI : http://doi.org/10.36295/ASRO.2020.23816 Introduction Kidney Failure is a disease in which the kidneys are unable to carry the metabolic waste from the body or carry out its regular functions. A material that usually eliminated in urine that accumulates in body fluids due to impaired renal excretion and causes disruption of endocrine and metabolic functions, fluids, electrolytes, and acid–base. It is the common final pathway of various urinary tract diseases and kidneys. Then, kidney failure is a systemic disease. As stated by the United State Renal Data System (USRDS), the prevalence of chronic kidney failure is around 10 % to 13 % in 2009. The prevalence of chronic kidney failure is quite high in Indonesia, which are around 30.7 × 10 6 people. People with end–stage kidney failure have around 14.3 × 10 6 people currently undergoing treatment according to PT Askes data (1) . Furthermore, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (permil) based on the doctor's diagnosis in residents aged ≥ 15 yr from 2013 until 2018 has increased. The prevalence of more men with chronic kidney disease is 4.17 % compared to women, which is 3.52 %. Chronic kidney failure is more affected in urban areas, which is 3.85 %, while in rural areas, it is 3.84 %. 65 yr to 74 yr of age are more susceptible to chronic kidney disease, which is 8.23 % (2) . The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Core Quality Outcome (NKFKDOQI) recommends for dialysis patients to have high protein intake. Patients with chronic kidney disease are usually low food intake due to decreased appetite, the onset of nausea, and accompanied by vomiting so that it will affect weight loss, which can cause malnutrition (3) . Moreover, subjective global assessments can be used reliably to assess malnutrition in chronic kidney disease patients and are therefore useful in disease prognostication (4) . Subjective Global
