Several equations are available to derive lean body mass (LBM) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The purpose of this study was to investigate in dialysis patients the impact of the equation used on the outcome of LBM assessment. To avoid dyshydration as a confounder, vena cava diameter measurement was used to assess normohydration in the 21 patients studied. Five equations were compared. In a previously published study to assess total body water using antipyrine as a gold standard, Deurenberg's formula was advocated to be used in the estimation of LBM by BIA. Therefore, this formula was used as a basis for comparison with the other four equations. One equation gave results comparable to those obtained by Deurenberg's formula. Despite high correlations and agreement according to Bland and Altman analysis, the other three equations showed a significant difference with Deurenberg-derived LBM. Thus, the equation used has a major impact on the outcome of LBM estimations. (Int J Artif Organs 2000; 23: 168–72)
