Peritoneal dialysis in older adults: evaluation of clinical, nutritional, metabolic outcomes, and quality of life [PDF]

, 2018
The number of older adults requiring dialysis is increasing worldwide, whereas the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in this population is lower respect to younger patients, despite the theoretical advantages of PD respect to hemodialysis.

Usefulness of bioelectrical impedance analysis for monitoring patients with refractory ascites [PDF]

, 2019
Background: bioelectrical impedance analysis is a technique for the determination of the hydropic component. The hydropic component, determined by blood volume, could be a reflection of the hemodynamic situation.

Monitoring of muscle mass in critically ill patients: comparison of ultrasound and two bioelectrical impedance analysis devices

Journal of Intensive Care, 2019
BackgroundSkeletal muscle atrophy commonly occurs in critically ill patients, and decreased muscle mass is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Muscle mass can be assessed using various tools, including ultrasound and bioelectrical impedance analysis
