title: [Changes in body composition according to kidney damage in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To know the relationship between total body composition and the stage of kidney damage, according to the K/DOQI classification, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
  
  
  METHODS
  Under a correlation design, adults with T2DM were studied. Age, evolution time, fat and lean mass, fat percentage, total water, body index mass (BMI), creatinine clearance by Cockroft-Gault (CrCCG), glucose, HbA1c, proteinuria and microalbuminuria were determined. T test to compare independent means and Spearman correlation were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The study included 60 men (23.4%) and 196 women (76.6%). There were no differences by gender when comparing age, BMI, duration of T2DM, blood glucose and HbA1c. The analysis showed a direct relationship between BMI (r = 0.281), the amount of fat mass (r = 0.360), lean tissue (r = 0.158), and water (r = 0.176) with the CrCCG (p < 0.0001). The biggest change in body composition, due to fat mass, was observed in chronic kidney disease stages 1-3, in which BMI had a good correlation with fat mass (r = 0.80, p < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fat mass is inversely related to the stage of kidney damage in patients with T2DM.
