COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DUAL ENERGY X-RAY AND BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN THE ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENT COMPOSITION OF THE BODY OF HAEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
The aim of the study. Compare the efficiency of the use of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DRA) and bioimpedansometry (BIM) in the evaluation of the body composition of hemodialysis patients.Patients and methods. 67 patients on hemodialysis, among which 23 men and 44 women aged 54±14,4 years. BIM and DRA were used to evaluate the body composition.Results. The results of determining the total muscle mass of the body obtained by the results of DFA and BIM were compared with the use of the Bland-Altman method. The correlation coefficient between the indices was R=0,994, p<0,0001, delta (M±s) was –0,48±0,91 kg, CI 95% (–0,71)…(–0,26) kg.Conclusion. DRA does not have significant advantages over tetrapolar multifrequency BIM when assessing the body composition in hemodialysis patients.
