Serum PTH Associated with Malnutrition Determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Technology in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Chronic malnutrition and cachexia are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and importance should be given to these complications because they affect the patient's quality of life and prognosis. This study analyzed the correlation between the serum PTH level, nutritional status, and body composition of patients with CKD.

Methods

CKD patients were enrolled in Center for Kidney Disease, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from December 1, 2016, to November 30, 2020. Bioelectrical impedance technology was applied to estimate the body composition. The characteristics of the body composition were compared among different stages of CKD patients, and then the correlation between PTH and body composition was analyzed.

Results

205 CKD patients w
