ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of L-carnitine combined with psychological intervention on nutritional status and inflammatory status in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods 75 cases of maintenance hemodialysis patients treated in our hospital from September 2016 to December 2016 were randomly divided into control group(n=37) and study group(n=38)by single and double number method (hospital visit order). The control group in the hemodialysis treatment combined with Levocarnitine; the study group in the use of L-carnitine combined with psychological intervention. Results There were no significant differences in ALB, Hb, BMI, IL-6 and CRP between the two groups before treatment. After the corresponding treatment, the improvement of ALB, Hb, BMI, IL-6, CRP and other inflammatory indexes and nutritional indexes in the study group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The application of L-carnitine in maintenance hemodialysis patients combined with psychological intervention can significantly improve the body's Micro inflammatory status and nutrition indicators, has positive significance to protect the patients' quality of life and physical and mental health.
