[Bioelectrical analysis in uremic patients].
Bioelectrical analysis (BIA) is an easy, repeatable, low cost, operator-independent method. BIA obtains two different goals, i.e. body water content evaluation, by the RXc Graph or the BIVA Z score and morbidity and mortality predictions by the phase angle. Therefore, BIA can be considered as part of the clinical examination for the evaluation of both hydration and nutritional status.
