Brief Summary  

This is an observational study to evaluate the nutritional status and muscle health of chronic kidney disease CKD patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis by assessing their anthropometric measurements and handgrip strength. By combining these two non invasive assessments using a vernier caliper for body measurements and a dynamometer for muscle strength the study aims to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the patients nutritional and functional condition which can help guide better clinical management and improve patient outcomes.
