Suh SW. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Preoperative Volemia Assessment in Living Donor Hepatectomy. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12111755. [PMID: 36573727 PMCID: PMC9693392 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12111755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Donor safety remains an important concern. We introduced preoperative bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in living donor hepatectomy, as it is a practical method for volemia assessment with the advantages of noninvasiveness, rapid processing, easy handling, and it is relatively inexpensive. We analyzed 51 living donors who underwent right hemihepatectomy between July 2015 and May 2022. The ratio of extracellular water:total body water (ECW/TBW; an index of volemic status) was measured. ECT/TBW < 0.378 was correlated to central venous pressure (CVP) < 5 mm Hg in a previous study and we used this value for personalized preoperative management. In the BIA group (n = 21), donors with ECW/TBW ≥ 0.378 (n = 12) required whole-day nothing by mouth (NPO), whereas those with ECW/TBW < 0.378 (n = 9) required midnight NPO, similar to the control group (n = 30). In comparison with the control group, the BIA group had a significantly lower central venous pressure (p < 0.001) from the start of surgery to the end of surgery, leading to a better surgical field grade (p = 0.045) and decreased operative duration (240.5 ± 45.6 vs. 276.5 ± 54.0 min, p = 0.016). A cleaner surgical field (surgical field grade 1) was significantly associated with decreased operative duration (p = 0.001) and estimated blood loss (p < 0.001). Preoperative BIA was the only significant predictor of a cleaner surgical field (odds ratio, 6.914; 95% confidence interval, 1.6985−28.191, p = 0.007). In conclusion, preoperative volemia assessment using BIA can improve operative outcomes by creating a favorable surgical environment in living donor hepatectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Segmental eight-point bioimpedance has been increasingly used in practice. However, whether changes in bioimpedance analysis components before and after hemodialysis (HD) using this technique in a standing position is comparable to traditional whole-body wrist-to-ankle method is still unclear. We aimed to investigate the differences between two eight-point devices (InBody 770 and Seca mBCA 514) and one wrist-to-ankle (Hydra 4200) in HD patients and healthy subjects in a standing position. METHODS Thirteen HD patients were studied pre- and post-HD, and 12 healthy subjects once. Four measurements were performed in the following order: InBody; Seca; Hydra; and InBody again. Electrical equivalent models by each bioimpedance method and the fluid volume estimates by each device were also compared. FINDINGS Overall, total body water (TBW) was not different between the three devices, but InBody showed lower extracellular water (ECW) and higher intracellular water (ICW) compared to the other two devices. When intradialytic weight loss was used as a surrogate for changes in ECW (∆ECW) and changes in TBW (∆TBW), ∆ECW was underestimated by Hydra (-0.79 ± 0.89 L, p < 0.01), InBody (-1.44 ± 0.65 L, p < 0.0001), and Seca (-0.32 ± 1.34, n.s.). ∆TBW was underestimated by Hydra (-1.14 ± 2.81 L, n.s.) and InBody (-0.52 ± 0.85 L, p < 0.05) but overestimated by Seca (+0.93 ± 3.55 L, n.s.). DISCUSSION Although segmental eight-point bioimpedance techniques provided comparable TBW measurements not affected by standing over a period of 10-15 min, the ECW/TBW ratio appeared to be significantly lower in InBody compared with Seca and Hydra. Results from our study showed lack of agreement between different bioimpedance devices; direct comparison of ECW, ICW, and ECW/TBW between different devices should be avoided and clinicians should use the same device to track the fluid status in their HD population in a longitudinal direction.

Abstract
Diagnosis of fluid overload (FO) in early stage is essential to manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients' fluid balance and to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, identification of fluid status in CKD patient is largely dependent on physician's clinical acumen. The ratio of fluid overload to extracellular volume (FO/ECV) has been used as a reference to assess fluid status. The primary aim of this study was to compare FO/ECV with other bioimpedance methods and clinical assessment in CKD patients. Whole body ECV, intracellular volume (ICV), total body water (TBW) and calf normalized resistivity (CNR) were measured (Hydra 4200). Thresholds of FO utilizing CNR and ECV/TBW were derived by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis based on data from pooled CKD patients and healthy subjects (HS). Clinical assessments of FO in CKD patients were performed by nephrologists . CKD (stage 3 and stage 4) patients (n=50) and HS (n=189) were studied. The thresholds of FO were ≤ 14.3 (10-2 Ωm3/kg) for females and ≤ 13.1 (10-2 Ωm3/kg) for males using CNR and ≥ 0.445 in females and ≥ 0.434 in males using ECV/TBW. FO was diagnosed in 78%, 62% and 52% of CKD patients by CNR, FO/ECV and ECV/TBW, respectively while only 24% of CKD patients were diagnosed to be FO by clinical assessment . The proportion of FO in non-dialysis CKD patients was largely underestimated by clinical assessment compared to FO/ECV, CNR and ECV/TBW. CNR, and FO/ECV methods were more sensitive than ECV/TBW in identifying fluid overload in these CKD patients.

Preoperative volume assessment using bioelectrical impedance analysis for minimizing blood loss during hepatic resection. HPB (Oxford) 2022; 24:568-574. [PMID: 34702628 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2021.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining low central venous pressure (CVP) is an effective strategy to reduce blood loss during hepatic resection. As an alternative to measuring CVP, which requires the placement of a central venous catheter, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive method recently used for monitoring volume status in critically ill patients. METHODS We investigated 192 patients who underwent hepatic resection from January 2017 to December 2020. The ratio of extracellular water:total body water (ECW/TBW), as an index of volume status, was measured using InBody S10 (Biospace, Seoul, Korea). The correlation between the ECW/TBW and CVP was determined, and their influences on operative outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS ECW/TBW and CVP showed a significant correlation; an ECW/TBW <0.378 correlated with a CVP <5 mmHg (R2 = 0.839, P<0.001). Estimated blood loss (EBL) was significantly increased in patients with an ECW/TBW ≥0.378 compared to those with a ratio <0.378 (508 ± 321 vs. 324 ± 193, mL, P<0.001). Identified predictors for an EBL ≥500 mL were operative time (odds ratio [OR], 1.008; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.001-1.015; P = 0.021) and an ECW/TBW <0.378 (OR, 0.263; 95% CI, 0.121-0.572; P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS BIA can be utilized for preoperative volume assessment to minimize blood loss during hepatic resection.

Assessing lean tissue by bioelectrical impedance analysis pre hemodialysis underestimates the prevalence of sarcopenia in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Eur J Clin Nutr 2021; 75:1407-1413. [PMID: 34131302 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-020-00835-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis dialysis (MHD) are at high risk of sarcopenia. Diagnosing sarcopenia requires measurement of both muscle mass and muscle function. However, few studies have rigorously evaluated the best timing for assessment. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in body composition following hemodialysis in an Asian population. SUBJECTS/METHODS Overall, 87 MHD patients were included. Body composition was estimated using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Handgrip strength was measured using a quantitative handgrip dynamometer, and physical performance was assessed using the 6-m usual gait speed. All measurements were performed pre and post dialysis. Blood samples were collected before and after the same dialysis session. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia ranged from 6.9% to 18.8% pre dialysis (40-59-year group, 6.9%; 60-80-year group, 16.7%; >80-year group, 18.8%) and from 13.8% to 62.5% post dialysis. The body weight decreased from 59.32 ± 11.20 kg pre dialysis to 57.71 ± 11.05 kg post dialysis. Both the extracellular and intracellular water levels decreased post dialysis (from 14.70 ± 3.81 to 13.6 ± 2.82 L, P < 0.001, and from 21.30 ± 4.20 to 20.8 ± 4.13 L, P < 0.001, respectively). Albumin and creatinine levels were significantly lower in patients with sarcopenia. Elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels were observed in sarcopenia patients. CONCLUSION The prevalence of sarcopenia in MHD patients varies greatly according to the timing of measurements. Although predialysis measurement is preferred, it underestimates the prevalence of sarcopenia in MHD patients.

Abstract
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) has proven to be a promising non-invasive technique for fluid monitoring in HD patients. While current BIS-based monitoring of pre- and post-dialysis fluid status utilizes benchtop devices, designed for intramural use, advancements in micro-electronics have enabled the development of wearable bioimpedance systems. Wearable systems meanwhile can offer a similar frequency range for current injection as commercially available benchtop devices. This opens opportunities for unobtrusive longitudinal fluid status monitoring, including transcellular fluid shifts, with the ultimate goal of improving fluid management, thereby lowering mortality and improving quality of life for HD patients. Ultra-miniaturized wearable devices can also offer simultaneous acquisition of multiple other parameters, including hemodynamic parameters. Combination of wearable BIS and additional longitudinal multiparametric data may aid in the prevention of both hemodynamic instability as well as fluid overload. The opportunity to also acquire data during interdialytic periods using wearable devices likely will give novel pathophysiological insights and the development of smart (predicting) algorithms could contribute to personalizing dialysis schemes and ultimately to autonomous (nocturnal) home dialysis. This review provides an overview of current research regarding wearable bioimpedance, with special attention to applications in ESKD patients. Furthermore, we present an outlook on the future use of wearable bioimpedance within dialysis practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) suffer from volume overload and this overhydration is associated with increased mortality. Thus, optimal assessment of volume status in PD is an issue of paramount importance. Patient symptoms and physical signs are often unreliable indexes of true hydration status. SUMMARY Over the past decades, a quest for a valid, reproducible, and easily applicable technique to assess hydration status is taking place. Among existing techniques, inferior vena cava diameter measurements with echocardiography and natriuretic peptides such as brain natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were not extensively examined in PD populations; while having certain advantages, their interpretation are complicated by the underlying cardiac status and are not widely available. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) techniques are the most studied tool assessing volume overload in PD. Volume overload assessed with BIA has been associated with technique failure and increased mortality in observational studies, but the results of randomized trials on the value of BIA-based strategies to improve volume-related outcomes are contradictory. Lung ultrasound (US) is a recent technique with the ability to identify volume excess in the critical lung area. Preliminary evidence in PD showed that B-lines from lung US correlate with echocardiographic parameters but not with BIA measurements. This review presents the methods currently used to assess fluid status in PD patients and discusses existing data on their validity, applicability, limitations, and associations with intermediate and hard outcomes in this population. Key Message: No method has proved its value as an intervening tool affecting cardiovascular events, technique, and overall survival in PD patients. As BIA and lung US estimate fluid overload in different compartments of the body, they can be complementary tools for volume status assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of increased frequency of dialysis (FHD) on change in fluid status and body composition using segmental bioimpedance. APPROACH Twelve stable HD patients were switched from 3 times/week to 6 times/week HD (FHD). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass and body mass index (BMI) were measured pre- and post-HD. Calf resistance (R 5) at 5 kHz was measured using a multifrequency bioimpedance device (Hydra 4200). Calf resistivity (ρ = R 5 * area/length), normalized resistivity (CNR = ρ/BMI) and calf extracellular volume (cECV) were calculated. Fat mass was measured by Futrex body composition analyzers (Futrex 6100, Futrex Tech, Inc.). All measurements were performed at baseline (BL) and monthly for up to one year. MAIN RESULTS Nine patients completed one year of FHD. Compared to BL, body weight and cECV decreased, and CNR increased significantly by the first month but did not change thereafter. SBP pre-HD decreased significantly by the end of the first month with further reduction until month 12. Additionally, antihypertensive medication decreased significantly from baseline by month 4 and remained stable from month 6 throughout the rest of the study. The post-HD CNR in five of nine patients reached the range of normal (>18.5 10-2 * Ohm * m3 kg-1 for males and >19.1 10-2 * Ohm * m3 kg-1 for females) after 1 year FHD. In patients who returned to 3 times/week dialysis, CNR decreased significantly in the first week, and this was associated with increases in body weight and SBP. SIGNIFICANCE Reduction of fluid overload with no alteration of body composition was observed in this study. Accordingly, improving fluid status was confirmed by reducing BP and use of antihypertensive drugs together with increase in CNR. Measurement of fluid status by CNR in hemodialysis patients is a new method to quantitatively assess hydration potentially creating a target for volume of fluid removal.

Abstract
This paper describes a new combined impedance plethysmographic (IPG) and electrical bioimpedance spectroscopic (BIS) instrument and software that will allow noninvasive real-time measurement of segmental blood flow, intracellular, interstitial, and intravascular volume changes during various fluid management procedures. The impedance device can be operated either as a fixed frequency IPG for the quantification of segmental blood flow and hemodynamics or as a multi-frequency BIS for the recording of intracellular and extracellular resistances at 40 discrete input frequencies. The extracellular volume is then deconvoluted to obtain its intravascular and interstitial component volumes as functions of elapsed time. The purpose of this paper is to describe this instrumentation and to demonstrate the information that can be obtained by using it to monitor segmental compartment volume responses of a pig model during simulated hemorrhage and resuscitation. Such information may prove valuable in the diagnosis and management of rapid changes in the body fluid balance and various clinical treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to present current information on techniques for fluid status assessment in patients with kidney disease. The methods can be broadly categorized into biomarkers, ultrasound, blood volume monitoring, and bioimpedance. RECENT FINDINGS Biomarkers including atrial natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide have been shown to provide information about relative changes in fluid status. Ultrasound is applied to measure inferior vena cava indices, pulmonary indicators, and vascular indicators of fluid overload. Relative blood volume monitoring is used to measure change in intravascular fluid during hemodialysis. While in principle appealing, measurement of absolute blood volume has seen limited use to date. Bioimpedance techniques such as vector analysis, whole body, and regional bioimpedance spectroscopy, have shown their ability to estimate fluid status. SUMMARY The interpretation of biomarkers is complicated by the presence of cardiac disease. All ultrasound methods have some correlation with fluid status; however, operator dependency limits their routine use. Bioimpedance methods and relative blood volume monitoring are increasingly used to assess fluid status in patients with acute or chronic kidney disease. Measurement of absolute blood volume holds promise for the future.

Abstract
Normal fluid status (dry weight) can be identified by hydration markers established in the healthy population. The general population average could be influenced by age with its accompanying physiological changes and/or illness. The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the effect of age and systolic blood pressure (SBP) on these markers; (2) to compare mean values of hydration markers as assessed by different bioimpedance techniques. Subjects from the general population (n = 212, males 105, 57.1% White, 31.6% Black, and 11.3% others) were studied. Body weight, height and SBP were measured. Whole body and calf bioimpedance (Hydra 4200) methods were utilized with subjects in the supine position. Calf normalized resistivity (CNR), fluid overload (FO), extracellular (ECV) and intracellular (ICV) volume measurements ECV/total body water (TBW) were calculated. Subjects were stratified by age; young (Group1): 18-35 years; middle (Group2): 36-60 years, senior (Group3): 61-80 years. Body mass index (BMI), CNR, and ECV/TBW differed significantly between age groups, and genders. ECV and FO increased with age in males. Decreased CNR (indicating relative increased fluid load) (p < 0.001) and increased SBP (p < 0.001) were associated with age in all three groups. CNR in Group1 was the same as in 36.0% of subjects in Group2 and 12.5% of subjects in Group3. In those subjects in Group2 and Group3, with CNR levels comparable to Group1 subjects, SBP was lower than in their peers in each respective age group. In conclusion average CNR in Group1 represents the range of healthy subjects. Since CNR is correlated with age, subjects in Group2 and Group3 are more likely to have fluid overload. Although about a third of subjects in Group2 and Group3 were in the range of Group1, the age and associated factors should be considered when CNR is used to identify fluid status in senior patients.

Introduction The aim of this paper is to describe and demonstrate how a new bioimpedance analytical procedure can be used to monitor cellular hydration of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients during hemodialysis (HD). Methods A tetra-polar bioimpedance spectroscope (BIS), (UFI Inc., Morro Bay, CA), was used to measure the tissue resistance and reactance of the calf of 17 ESRD patients at 40 discrete frequencies once a minute during dialysis treatment. These measurements were then used to derive intracellular, interstitial, and intravascular compartment volume changes during dialysis. Findings The mean (± SD) extracellular resistance increased during dialysis from 92.4 ± 3.5 to 117.7 ± 5.8 Ohms. While the mean intracellular resistance decreased from 413.5 ± 11.7 to 348.5 ± 8.2 Ohms. It was calculated from these data that the mean intravascular volume fell 9.5%; interstitial volume fell 33.4%; and intracellular volume gained 20.3%. Discussion These results suggest that an extensive fluid shift into the cells may take place during HD. The present research may contribute to a better understanding of how factors that influence fluid redistribution may affect an ESRD patient during dialysis. In light of this finding, it is concluded that the rate of vascular refill is jointly determined with the rate of "cellular refill" and the transfer of fluid from the intertitial compartment into the intravascular space.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle mass and muscle function are negatively affected by a variety of conditions inherent to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to dialysis treatment. Skeletal muscle mass and function serve as indicators of the nutritional and clinical state of CKD patients, and low values or derangements over time are strong predictors of poor patient outcomes. However, muscle size and function can be affected by different factors, may decline at different rates, and may have different patient implications. Therefore, operational definitions of frailty and sarcopenia have emerged to encompass these 2 dimensions of muscle health, i.e., size and functionality. The aim of this review is to appraise available methods for assessment of muscle mass and functionality, with an emphasis on their accuracy in the setting of CKD patients. We then discuss the selection of reference cutoffs for defining conditions of muscle wasting and dysfunction. Finally, we review definitions applied in studies addressing sarcopenia and frailty in CKD patients and discuss their applicability for diagnosis and monitoring.
