摘要: Background This study was performed to determine the clinical relevance of limb/trunk lean mass ratio (LTLM) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Methods retrospective cohort included 534 CAPD Body compositions were measured using a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry apparatus. Results In males, sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis sarcopenia 70.3% 85.9%, respectively. Respective values females 62.3% 83.8%. The initial low LTLM tertile associated with mortality male patients female Among who maintained year, maintenance mortality. Conclusions is other indices, nutritional status, Therefore, novel marker that useful prediction status CAPD.
