A case-control study. PG - 1117-1123 LID - S0261-5614(19)30197-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.clnu.2019.04.021 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND & AIMS: Extracellular mass-to-body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM ratio) which differentiates the proportion between intraextracellular compartments, could be a nutrition index of being wasted overloaded in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study aimed to describe a cut-off point of the ECM/BCM ratio and, to find out the relationship between the nutritional-hydration status and this ratio in HD patients. METHODS: A case-control study was carried out in 64 HD patients individually age-gender-matched to controls. Demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to estimate ECM/BCM ratio as an indicator of the nutritional hydration status. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to determine the optimal cut-off point for identification of ECM/BCM ratio. An univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regression for the ECM/BCM ratio >/=1.20 was performed. RESULTS: Median of ECM/BCM ratio was 1.50 (IQR:0.66) in HD patients, whereas 0.87 (IQR: 0.35) was found in controls (p < 0.001). HD-patients had lower body weight, serum albumin (s-albumin) and higher serum C-reactive protein (s-CRP) than controls. By ROC curve analysis, a cut-off point of 1.20 for the ECM/BCM ratio best discriminates to be wasted-overhydrated (sensitivity: 81.2%; specificity: 87.5%). Conditional logistic regression showed that for each 10%, ECM/BCM ratio increase the probability of developing fluid overload was increased 63% (OR: 1.63; 95% CI, 1.15-2.29), whereas an inverse association with s-albumin (OR: 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.61) and other nutritional indicators were found. CONCLUSIONS: The ECM/BCM ratio appears as a sensitive index that discriminates nutritional and/or hydration status in HD patients compared with age-gender-matched-controls. ECM/BCM ratios >/=1.20 are indicators of wasting and fluid overload in HD patients. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 Elsevier Ltd and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism.
