Abstract:

Bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)is a simple,objective,noninvasive and rapid method to evaluate human body composition. The measured phase angle can be used to evaluate the nutritional status of patients. The International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism recommends that patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)can be measured regularly for BIA,to assess nutritional status and take preventive measures. This paper reviews the research progress of bioelectrical impedance phase angle in the evaluation of nutritional status of MHD patients.
