BACKGROUND & AIMS: Extracellular mass-to-body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM ratio) which differentiates the proportion between intraextracellular compartments, could be a nutrition index of being wasted overloaded in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study aimed to describe a cut-off point of the ECM/BCM ratio and, to find out the relationship between the nutritional-hydration status and this ratio in HD patients.
A case-control study was carried out in 64 HD patients individually age-gender-matched to controls. Demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to estimate ECM/BCM ratio as an indicator of the nutritional hydration status. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to determine the optimal cut-off point for identification of ECM/BCM ratio. An univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regression for the ECM/BCM ratio ≥1.20 was performed.
Median of ECM/BCM ratio was 1.50 (IQR:0.66) in HD patients, whereas 0.87 (IQR: 0.35) was found in controls (p < 0.001). HD-patients had lower body weight, serum albumin (s-albumin) and higher serum C-reactive protein (s-CRP) than controls. By ROC curve analysis, a cut-off point of 1.20 for the ECM/BCM ratio best discriminates to be wasted-overhydrated (sensitivity: 81.2%; specificity: 87.5%). Conditional logistic regression showed that for each 10%, ECM/BCM ratio increase the probability of developing fluid overload was increased 63% (OR: 1.63; 95% CI, 1.15-2.29), whereas an inverse association with s-albumin (OR: 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.61) and other nutritional indicators were found.
The ECM/BCM ratio appears as a sensitive index that discriminates nutritional and/or hydration status in HD patients compared with age-gender-matched-controls. ECM/BCM ratios ≥1.20 are indicators of wasting and fluid overload in HD patients.
细胞外质量与体细胞质量比(ECM/BCM 比)可区分细胞内和细胞外成分的比例,可能是血液透析(HD)患者营养过剩或不足的一个指标。本研究旨在确定 ECM/BCM 比的临界值,并找出 HD 患者营养-水合状态与该比值之间的关系。
对 64 例 HD 患者进行病例对照研究,这些患者在年龄和性别上与对照组个体匹配。记录人口统计学、临床和实验室参数。采用生物电阻抗分析来估计 ECM/BCM 比,作为营养水合状态的指标。应用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析来确定识别 ECM/BCM 比的最佳临界值。对 ECM/BCM 比≥1.20 进行单因素和多因素条件逻辑回归分析。
HD 患者的 ECM/BCM 比中位数为 1.50(四分位间距:0.66),而对照组为 0.87(四分位间距:0.35)(p < 0.001)。HD 患者的体重、血清白蛋白(s-白蛋白)低于对照组,血清 C 反应蛋白(s-CRP)高于对照组。通过 ROC 曲线分析,ECM/BCM 比的临界值为 1.20 时,最能区分营养过剩或水合过度(敏感性:81.2%;特异性:87.5%)。条件逻辑回归显示,ECM/BCM 比每增加 10%,发生液体超负荷的概率增加 63%(比值比:1.63;95%可信区间,1.15 - 2.29),而与 s-白蛋白呈负相关(比值比:0.15;95%可信区间,0.03 - 0.61),且发现与其他营养指标也存在类似关系。
与年龄和性别匹配的对照组相比,ECM/BCM 比似乎是区分 HD 患者营养和/或水合状态的一个敏感指标。ECM/BCM 比≥1.20 是 HD 患者营养过剩和液体超负荷的指标。
