Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Before Versus After a Hemodialysis Session in Evaluation of Nutritional Status

BIA measurements in the studied group of patients did correlate with traditional indices of nutritional status. The correlation coefficients were not significantly influenced by the time of performing BIA measurements. The obtained correlations confirm that BIA performed 15 minutes after an HD session may be a useful tool in evaluation of nutritional status of stable HD patients in clinical practice.
