Association Between Phase Angle and Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: There is limited data on the association between phase angle (PhA) and sarcopenia using both muscle strength and muscle mass in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). We aimed to evaluate the association between PhA and sarcopenia in patients undergoing PD. Methods: We enrolled prevalent patients undergoing PD (n = 200). The patients were divided into tertiles based on their PhA level: low (n = 66; 1.9-4°), middle (n = 68; 4.1-4.9°), and high tertiles (n = 66; 5-8°). PhA was measured by a bioimpedance analysis. Handgrip strength (HGS) was measured in all the patients. Body compositions were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results: Handgrip strength (HGS) and/or lean mass indices showed poorer trends i
