Body fat in children with chronic kidney disease - A comparative study of bio-impedance analysis with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

Conclusion: In children with CKD, body fat is preserved in the majority. Among the two measures of fat, BF% estimated by BIA did not compare well with DXA while FMI measure was comparable with a lower bias. However, due to lack of reference values in Indian children for FMI obtained by BIA, BIA cannot be used to measure fat in this population.
