Differences in prescribed Kt/V and delivered haemodialysis dose—why obesity makes a difference to survival for haemodialysis pa
Nephrology | TBW, PBF | Davenport A | 2013 | UK | Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation
Background Morbid obesity is reported to be a survival factor for haemodialysis patients compared with those with a normal body mass index (BMI), yet morbid obesity (BMI> 35) is a mortality risk factor for obese patients in the general population. Traditionally, haemodialysis dosing is prescribed to achieve a target Kt/V corrected for total body water (TBW). As obese patients typically have increased body fat, which contains less water than muscle, then obese patients may have lower levels of body water than their slimmer counterparts, and as …
The associations of malnutrition and aging with fluid volume imbalance between intra-and extracellular water in patients with c
Nephrology | ECW, ICW, ECW/ICW | Ohashi Y et al. | 2015 | Japan | JOURNAL OF NUTRITION HEALTH & AGING
Objectives Fluid imbalance due to sodium retention and malnutrition can be characterized by the ratio of extracellular water (ECW) to intracellular water (ICW). We investigated whether the ECW/ICW ratio is a risk factor for adverse outcomes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting and Participants 149 patients with chronic kidney disease from 2005 to 2009, who were followed until August 2013. Measurements Body fluid composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Patients were categorized according to the …
The extracellular volume status predicts body fluid response to SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in diabetic kidney disease
Nephrology | ICW, ECW, TBW, ECW/TBW | Ohara et al. | 2020 | Japan | Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome
Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are an antihyperglycemic drug with diuretic action. We recently reported that the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin ameliorates extracellular volume expansion with a mild increase in urine volume. However, the impact of the pretreatment extracellular volume status on the body fluid response to SGLT2 inhibitors remains unclear. Thirty-six diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients were treated with dapagliflozin. The body fluid volume, including intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water …
Loss of appendicular muscle mass in haemodialysis patients is associated with increased self‐reported depression, anxiety and l
Nephrology | ECW/TBW, FFM, Appendicular FFM, BFM, PBF | Alston H, Burns A, Davenport A. | 2017 | UK | Nephrology
Background Previous reports have suggested an association between depression and nutritional status. To investigate whether there is an association with loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), we screened HD patients for depression. Methods We screened for depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory‐II (BDI‐II), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and general health using the short form 36 (SF36), and additionally measured appendicular lean mass post‐dialysis with segmental bioimpedance …
Postural stability during standing and its association with physical and cognitive functions in non-dialysis chronic kidney dis
Nephrology | SMM, BFM | Wilkinson et al. | 2019 | UK | International Urology and Nephrology
Purpose Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterised by poor physical function. A possible factor may be aberrant changes to balance and postural stability (ie ability to maintain centre of pressure (COP)). Previous research has exclusively focused on patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT). The current study investigated postural stability in a group of CKD patients not requiring RRT. Methods 30 CKD patients (aged 57.0±17.8 years, 47% female, mean eGFR 42.9±27.2 ml/kg/1.73 m 2) underwent a series of …
Impact of compression stockings vs. continuous positive airway pressure on overnight fluid shift and obstructive sleep apnea am
Nephrology | TBW, trunk TBW, trunk ICW, ECW, lower limb ECW | Silva BC et al. | 2017 | Brazil | Frontiers in Medicine
Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is common in edematous states, notably in hemodialysis patients. In this population, overnight fluid shift can play an important role on the pathogenesis of OSA. The effect of compression stockings (CS) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on fluid shift is barely known. We compared the effects of CS and CPAP on fluid dynamics in a sample of patients with OSA in hemodialysis, through a randomized crossover study. Methods: Each participant performed polysomnography (PSG) …
Use of multifrequency bioimpedance analysis in male patients with acute kidney injury who are undergoing continuous veno-venous
Nephrology | ECW/TBW, Phase angle | Rhee H et al. | 2015 | Korea | PLoS One
Introduction Fluid overload is a well-known predictor of mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Multifrequency bioimpedance analysis (MF-BIA) is a promising tool for quantifying volume status. However, few studies have analyzed the effect of MF-BIA-defined volume status on the mortality of critically ill patients with AKI. This retrospective medical research study aimed to investigate this issue. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with AKI who underwent continuous veno-venous …
The disparity of measuring bone mineral content using bioimpedance and dual-energy absorptiometry in the context of hyperparath
Nephrology | BMC | Ferraz Crispilho et al. | 2020 | Brazil | Orgão oficial de Sociedades Brasileira e Latino-Americana de Nefrologia
Introduction: Body composition is critical for the evaluation of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and can be obtained from either multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA). Although the discrepancy between the results obtained from both methods has already been described, reasons are unknown, and might be related to secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is associated with bone loss. Methods: We have evaluated 49 patients (25 males and 24 females): 20 with CKD not on …
