...Fansan Zhu; Nathan W. Levin The aims of this study in hemodialysis (HD) patients were: 1. To evaluate the relationship of calf bioimpedance with total body composition and fluid status as measured by gold standard methods. 2. To investigate the ability of calf normalized resistivity (CNR...

... of overhydration and malnutrition in clinical practice. (3) An additional analysis of subclinical patients was performed to investigate if these cut-off values may discriminate the presence of volume overload or malnutrition in patients without overt edema or clinical evidence of malnutrition. Body composition...

... to compare clinical signs and find the optimal range for PD patients in China. Methods: A new bioimpedance spectroscopy device [body composition monitor (BCM)], which allows quantitative determination of how much the hydration status deviates from normal ranges (ΔHS), was selected. Blood pressure and ΔHS...

...J.E. Harrison; K.G. McNeill Measurements of body composition are made to assess nutritional status. The measurements used for these studies should be selected on the basis of reliability, as well as simplicity and costs, and reliability depends on the information required. In normal adults simple...

... to body weight and a higher distribution volume for uremic toxins in large patients. Since anemia is a salient feature in dialysis patients, this study aimed to explore the relationship between body composition and anemia control. Methods: Total adipose tissue (TAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT...

.... Thus, the larger the ratio of fat and muscle mass to visceral mass, the lower the concentration of uremic toxins and the better the survival. To test this hypothesis, studies on uremic toxin kinetics in relation to body composition are needed. 14 12 2006 Hemodialysis Body composition...

...-inflammatory cytokine, may further amplify inflammation and lead to malnutrition, through inducing anorexia, and muscle wasting due to increased protein breakdown. Several clinical studies have shown that the circulating level of IL-1β may affect nutritional status, especially body composition. Several IL-1...
