Fatigue Is Not Associated with Phase Angle in Hemodialysis Patients

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the association between fatigue and phase angle (PA) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD). Methods A cross-sectional study with older patients than 18 years diagnosed with CKD undergoing HD. From 160 (58.36±15.05 years) p...

Description
Summary:Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the association between fatigue and phase angle (PA) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD). Methods A cross-sectional study with older patients than 18 years diagnosed with CKD undergoing HD. From 160 (58.36±15.05 years) patients, (n=96; 60%) are men. Body mass and height were assessed using a portable scale and stadiometer, followed by body mass index (BMI) calculus. The bioimpedance electrical analysis was performed using the Bodystat QuadScan 4000. The sample size was dichotomized in two groups, using the median of our sample, either normal when PA ≥5.4°, or low when the PA
