Description
Summary:Background Inadequate fluid removal or high water intake leads to overhydration, which results in malnutrition. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of volume status on body composition in incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods All incident PD patients who survived ≥1 year after PD initiation were considered eligible. A total of 366 incident PD patients were finally included and divided into three tertiles according to the time-averaged-edema index (TA-EI). The body composition parameters measured using bioimpedance analysis included the EI, fat mass index (FMI, kg/m 2 ), and appendicular muscle mass index (AMMI, kg/m 2 ). dFMI and dAMMI were defined as delta values for each variable. The cutoff value for sarcopenia (SP) was defined as previously reported. Patients with AMMI below the cutoff values were defined as having SP. Results The number of participants in the low, middle, and high tertiles was 126, 100, and 140, respectively. A high volume status was associated with high solute clearance, albumin loss, and glucose absorption through the peritoneal membrane, which led to high dialysate glucose. In addition, volume status was inversely associated with increases in AMMI, but was not associated with changes in FMI. SP as a categorical variable was positively associated with a high volume status. On subgroup analyses, TA-EI had the greatest negative correlation coefficients for dAMMI. Conclusion Overhydration in PD patients was associated with decrease in muscle mass indices and the development of SP.
