ABSTRACT
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is a noninvasive method used to evaluate body fluid volume status in dialysis patients, but reports on its effectiveness in pediatrics are scarce. We investigated the correlation between BIS and clinical characteristics and identified the changes in patients whose dialysis prescription was modified based on BIS. The medical records of children on maintenance dialysis who had undergone BIS between 2017 and 2019 were reviewed. Of the 49 patients, 14 were overhydrated, based on the >15% proportion of overhydration relative to extracellular water (OH/ECW) measured by BIS. Intake of ≥two antihypertensive medications was noted in the majority (85.7%) of children with fluid overload and only in 48.6% of those without fluid overload (p = 0.017). Elevated blood pressure despite medication use was significantly more common in patients with fluid overload than in those without fluid overload (78.6% vs. 45.7%, p = 0.037). Of the 14 overhydrated children, 13 (92.9%) had significant changes in body weight, OH/ECW, the number of antihypertensive drugs, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and cardiothoracic ratio after the change in dialysis prescription. BIS is a useful and noninvasive method to assess fluid status in dialysis children. Long-term follow-up and correlation with a more objective clinical indicator of fluid overload is necessary to verify the clinical effectiveness of BIS.
