DOIAbstract
Body Cell Mass (BCM) is a sum of all metabolically active cells of the body. Aim of the study was to compare BCM with other nutritional and inflammatory markers in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4-5 (NKF) without dialysis treatment and in hemodialysis patients(HD). We included 45 adult patients with CKD and eGFR<30 ml/min not treated with dialysis (26 male, age: 59,7±16,8) and 39 adults treated with HD three times a week, for more than three months (26 male, 5 diabetics, age: 59,8 ±16). Body composition was measured using multifrequency biopimpedance spectroscopy: Body Composition Monitor - FMC. We used BCM index (BCMI) defined as BCM divided by height to the power of 2. To measure hand grip strength (HGS) we used dynamome...
