Abstract:
PURPOSE: CAPD is an important treatment modality along with hemodialysis and kidney transplantation in end stage renal disease. Malnutrition is very common and associated with increased morbidity and mortality in CAPD patients. The cause of malnutrion in CAPD patients might be multifactorial. This prospective study was carried out to investigate nutritional changes for 1 year after initiation of peritoneal dialysis by measurement body composition, especially lean body mass (LBM) using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and to evaluate the factors associated with malnutrition in CAPD patients. METHODS: Among new CAPD patients from May, 2001 to Dec, 2002 in our hospital, 25 patients were enrolled. Body weight, LBM, LBM percen t (%LBM), fat mass, fat mass percent (%fat mass), ECF volume and ECF/TBW were compared between 1st month and 12th month after initiation of PD. The biochemical parameters, Urea kinetic modeling, Peritoneal equilibration test, the amounts of glucose absorption through the dialysate, the amounts of protein and albumin loss through the dialysate were measured at the same time point with measurement of the body composition. RESULTS: There were significantly decreased LBM (46.3+/-9.1 kg to 44.7+/-9.0 kg in BIA, 45.7+/-9.3 kg to 42.1+/-7.9 kg in DEXA, p< 0.05, respectively) but significantly increased fat mass (16.3+/-6.2 kg to 20.2+/-7.9 kg in BIA, 15.7+/-6.6 kg to 20.1+/-7.4 kg in DEXA, p<0.01, respectively) during first one year. Mean weekly Kt/V were significantly correlated with the changes of LBM (r=-0.64 in BIA, r=-0.81 in DEXA, p<0.01, respectively). With the multiple regression test, 1st month weekly Kt/V in BIA and DEXA were significant predictors of the changes of LBM for 1 year (beta-coefficients: -0.573 in BIA, -0.773 in DEXA, p<0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION: Adequate dialysis, especially 1st month adequacy, is very important for maintaining good nutritional status for one year after initiation of peritoneal dialysis.
