Integrating BIA and eGFR for Nutritional Status in Hemodialysis Patients

Integrating Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate: A Novel Approach to Assessment of Nutritional Status of Hemodialysis Patients

Sponsor

University of Tartu

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Feb 10, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic Dialysis

Summary

This study looks at how measurements of body composition from Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and estimates of kidney function (eGFR) can be applied together to better assess the health of people on hemodialysis. Many dialysis patients struggle with malnutrition, muscle loss, and fluid imbalances, but current assessment methods rely on unsophisticated tests and observations. By combining BIA and eGFR, this study aims to provide a more accurate and non-invasive way to monitor nutrition and overall health, which could lead to better treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating how to better assess the nutritional status of people on hemodialysis by combining two measurements: a body composition scan (bioelectrical impedance analysis, BIA) and kidney function estimation (eGFR), to identify who is at risk for malnutrition. **You may be eligible if...** - You have chronic kidney disease - You have been on hemodialysis for at least 6 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have a major secondary illness (serious condition beyond kidney disease) - You have a pacemaker (which can interfere with the body composition scan) - You have had recent surgery Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
