NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND BODY COMPOSITION IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS: RELEVANCE OF BIOIMPEDANCEMETRY (BCM®) FOR LONGITUDINAL MONITORING

NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND BODY COMPOSITION IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS: RELEVANCE OF BIOIMPEDANCEMETRY (BCM®) FOR LONGITUDINAL MONITORING

The protein-energy wasting is common in patients with renal failure including patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is closely linked to an increased risk of morbi- mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relevance of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) to assess longitudinal body co...
