    Assessment of nutritional status and impact of nutrition education on renal calculi patients
    (CCSHAU, 2013) Anu; Boora, Pinky
    The present study entitled “Assessment of Nutritional Status and Impact of Nutrition Education on Renal Calculi Patients” was undertaken to study the etiological factors, dietary habits, nutrients intake of the males and females respondents (control group and renal calculi patients) and to study the impact of nutrition education on dietary assessment and biochemical profile of selected renal calculi patients (males and females) from Ambala and Hisar city of Haryana state. On the basis of survey of 400 respondents (200 control group and 200 renal calculi patients) it was found that majority of the respondents were in the age group of 30 to 40 years, belonged to general category, living in nuclear family, engaged in service and monthly income was `25, 001 to 50,000. Majority of the respondents suffered from urinary tract infections. Majority of the renal calculi patients consumed more than 4 cups of tea /day and drink less than 4 glasses of water/day. Majority of the respondents (control group and renal calculi patients) were vegetarian in both the cities. Mean daily intake of pulses, green leafy vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products, fats and oils and sugar and jaggery by renal calculi patients (male and female) were found higher than RDA. Majority of the respondents of control group consumed marginally adequate amount of pulses, green leafy vegetables, roots and tubers and fruits in their diet, whereas majority of renal calculi patients consumed adequate amount of cereal, green leafy vegetables and milk and milk products in their diet in both the cities. Majority of the renal calculi patients consumed adequate amount of energy, fat, calcium, iron, riboflavin, vitamin C and β- Carotene, whereas majority of the respondents of control group consumed marginally adequate amount of protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, thiamine in both the cities. Out of 200 renal calculi patients, 120 renal calculi patients (60 renal calculi patients from each city) were selected. Nutrition education was imparted to renal calculi patients with the help of audio- visual aids. At the end of 3 months of imparting nutrition education, the impact was assessed in term of their dietary intake, water intake, biochemical profile and gain in knowledge. Before imparting nutrition education, majority of the renal calculi patients consumed adequate intake of green leafy vegetables, milk and milk products and pulses, while after imparting nutrition education majority of the renal calculi patients (male and female) consumed marginally adequate amount of green leafy vegetable, milk and milk products and pulses in Ambala and Hisar city. After imparting nutrition education majority of the renal calculi patients consumed 7 to 8 glasses of water/day. The significant reduction (P<0.05) was observed in calcium, uric acid and creatinine in blood and urine samples of renal calculi patients of both the cities. Majority of the renal calculi patients had positive for pus cell, RBC and crystal (calcium oxalate).Gain in knowledge scores was significantly (P<0.01) higher after imparting nutrition education by renal calculi patients in both the cities. Hence, it can be inferred from the present study that nutrition education can be effective measure for bringing the significant changes in the nutritional profile as well as nutrition knowledge of renal calculi patients.
