Summary: | To investigate the relationship between extracellular water to total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) in bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and clinical parameters in hepatitis viruses related to liver diseases.
ECW/TBW was compared in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV,
= 85) and hepatitis C virus (HCV,
= 440) related liver diseases. We also examined factors linked to mild to severe overhydrated state (ECW/TBW ≥0.4).
The median ECW/TBW in the HCV group was 0.388 (range, 0.365⁻0.433), while that in the HBV group was 0.381 (range, 0.363⁻0.425) (
< 0.0001). In all cases (
= 525), for predicting F3 or more, ECW/TBW yielded the area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC, 0.74912) and for predicting F4, ECW/TBW yielded the AUROC (0.75517). Multivariate analysis showed that age, prothrombin time, serum albumin, and alanine aminotransferase were significant factors linked to ECW/TBW ≥0.4. In patients with FIB-4 index |
