Abstract
TBW can be estimated with enough confidence from either sf or mf BIA at any time. On the contrary, the results of ECW are significantly different with sf and mf BIA when measured predialysis. Thus, it seems more convenient to perform BIA after dialysis, in particular when assessing the “ideal” body weight. The measurements of FFM and BCM, obtained with either sf or mf BIA, are correlated with different indicators of nutritional status. In particular, mf BCM seems more appropriate than sf BCM for estimating muscle mass.
