Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis components in recent periods of renal failure in hemodialists. The study was conducted on 49 volunteer hemodialysis patients with renal insufficiency in the last period between the ages of 18 and 65. The researchers conducted anthropometric measurements of patients [(body weight (kg), length (cm), back circle (cm), back circle (cm)] and body composition analysis, malnutrition inflammatory score (MIS) survey. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have been recorded and carotic intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been measured. Results: The patient's median age was 49.00 years, the median CIMT value was 0.6 mm, the median MIS 11.00, the CRP level was 0.6 mg/dl. Patients had a meaningful relationship in the negative direction between body weight, body mass index (BMI), back circle, back circle, back-boy ratio, total body oil, fat-free body mass values and MIS (p<0.05). It has been found a meaningful relationship in a positive direction between age, BMI, back circle, back circle, total body fat percentage and CIMT (p<0.05). In this study there was no meaningful relationship between patients’ MIS and CRP and CIMT values, but there was a meaningful relationship with some anthropometric measurements and body composition parameters that could be a malnutrition indicator. Since the malnutrition and inflammatory relationship in hemodialysis patients constitutes a risk for atherosclerosis, this group of patients should be assessed in the direction of malnutrition, preventive measures should be taken.
