OBJECTIVE: To compare bioelectrical impedance analysis derived parameters in chronic maintenance dialysis patients to those obtained in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III. DESIGN: Cross-sectional nutritional surveillance study. SETTING: Hospital-based, not-for-profit chronic maintenance dialysis center. PATIENTS: A total of 913 chronic maintenance dialysis patients and a subset of 10,263 subjects from NHANES III who underwent bioelectrical impedance analysis. Independent (Predictor) Variables: Bioelectrical impedance parameters including resistance, reactance, phase angle, and total body capacitance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Total body water, intracellular and extracellular water, body cell mass, fat free mass, fat mass. RESULTS: Relative to NHANES III, end-stage renal disease patients have lower resistance (3%), reactance (26%), phase angle (28%); and intracellular water (9%) values, whereas extracellular water content is 17% higher (P < .001). In addition, body cell mass, fat free mass, and fat mass were lower in end-stage renal disease patients when compared with NHANES III subjects (9%, 3%, and 12%, respectively; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: End-stage renal disease patients have a lower tissue mass than the general population and remain in a state of overhydration while on chronic maintenance dialysis therapy.
