Objective: To analyze the nutritional status before and after the induction phase of chemotherapy treatment in children and adolescents with ALL and AML aged 2-18 years attended at the Hospital de Niños de la Santísima Trinidad de Córdoba during the period 2013-2016. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal analysis was performed. The information was collected from secondary information sources. The sample included 40 medical records of individuals aged 2-18 years diagnosed between 2013 and 2016 with ALL and AML. Results: Before the induction phase, nutritional status was normal in 65% of the population, 17.5% had failure to thrive, 7.5% had wasting and 7% had excess malnutrition. In addition, 95% had decreased hemoglobin and 39.3% had low albumin concentrations. After the induction phase, 72.5% gained weight and 22.5% lost weight. All those with excess malnutrition remained in this category until the end of the induction phase. These results were statistically significant (p=0.046). A lower hemoglobin (90%) and albumin (35.7%) concentration was observed post induction. Conclusion: Changes in weight were observed in almost all children and adolescents, tending mainly to an increase.
