Serum PTH Associated with Malnutrition Determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Technology in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

CONCLUSIONS: Bioelectrical impedance analysis might be useful in estimating the nutritional status of CKD patients in terms of fat and muscle parameters. High levels of PTH are an independent risk factor for developing low SMI in CKD patients.PMID:35573870 | PMC:PMC9095397 | DOI:10.1155/2022/1222480
