Resumen
TOPETE-REYES, Jorge F. et al. Determinación del estado nutricional mediante el ángulo de fase en pacientes en hemodiálisis. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2019, vol.155, n.3, 04. Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.19004434.
Introduction:
Multi-frequency bio-impedance analysis (BIA) accurately evaluates body composition.
Objective:
To assess nutritional status and its relationship with body mass index (BMI) or with BIA-obtained phase angle in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis.
Method:
BMI, BIA and dialysis malnutrition score (DMS) were assessed in 99 patients on hemodialysis (43.6 ± 17.2 years of age, 58.8% males). Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to determine BMI and phase angle independent associations with DMS.
Results:
Malnutrition risk (DMS > 13) showed a gradual increase among patients with normal BMI and phase angle (44.4%), low BMI (45.8%), low phase angle (64.0%), and in those with both parameters at abnormal ranges (68.0%). The phase angle was the only variable that was independently associated with patient nutritional status (standardized coefficient beta −0.372, p < 0.001), accounting for 13.8% of DMS variation.
Conclusion:
Phase angle is inversely and independently associated with malnutrition risk in patients with ESRD, which suggests that BIA-assessed body composition might be better than BMI in the clinical assessment of patients with ESRD.
