The Impact of Volume Overload on the Longitudinal Change of Adipose and Lean Tissue Mass in Incident Chinese Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

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
