Assessment of total body water in paediatric patients on dialysis.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Various anthropometric techniques are used to assess total body water in children on dialysis; however, their predictive accuracy and precision has not been validated.
METHODS: We compared total body water measurements obtained by deuterium oxide (D2O) dilution with predictions of total body water from (1) height and weight, (2) skinfold measurements, and (3) bioelectrical impedance analysis, using previously published formulae for …
