Abstract
- Patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) experience complex body composition changes that are not adequately reflected by traditional anthropometric parameters. While lean and adipose tissue mass can be readily assessed by bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), there is concern about the potential confounding effect of volume overload on these measurements. This study aimed to assess the influence of fluid status (by echocardiography) on body composition parameters measured by BIS and to describe the longitudinal changes in adipose and lean tissue mass. We conducted a prospective observational study in a tertiary hospital. Incident Chinese PD patients underwent baseline echocardiography and repeated BIS measurements at baseline and 12 months later. Among 101 PD patients, lean tissue index (LTI) or fat tissue index (FTI) was not associated with echocardiographic parameters that reflected left ventricular filling pressure (surrogate of volume status). Sixty-eight patients with repeated BIS had a significant increase in body weight and FTI, while LTI remained similar. Gains in fat mass were significantly associated with muscle wasting (beta = −0.71, p < 0.0001). Moreover, progressive fluid accumulation independently predicted decrease in FTI (beta = −0.35, p < 0.0001) but not LTI. Body composition assessments by BIS were not affected by fluid status and should be considered as part of comprehensive nutrition assessment in PD patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
