Abstract

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 51 children aged 10 to 16 years with chronic kidney disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis at the National Children's Hospital between July 2024 April 2025. The study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and the micronutrient content of their actual dietary intake.  Among the 51 participants, the proportion of boys and girls were 49% and 51% respectively. The prevalence of severe and moderate stunting were 35.3% and 33.3% respectively. Severe and wasting were observed in 19.6% and 29.4% of the participants, respectively. Overweight based on BMI was found only in boys (8%). Analysis of the 24-hour dietary intake revealed that most minerals and vitamins – including sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and vitamins B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, and A – did not meet the recommended intakes for Vietnamese children. Children with stunting consumed significantly lower amounts of potassium, zinc, vitamins B3, and C compared to those without malnutrition. These findings highlight the need for regular nutritional screening and targeted interventions in children with chronic kidney disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis to optimize growth and treatment outcomes.
