However the reason for the success of the impedence technique is much less clear. Hand to foot method 14 17 foot to foot 44 46 method and hand to hand method 47 48.
Mesurment Of Body Composition
Whole body bioimpedance measurement. Mono frequency 50 khz and multi frequency 3 khz 1 mhz whole body and thoracic segment bioimpedance measurement were doing before and after hemodialysis session in 20 patients. Whole body and thoracic bioimpedance measurement. Since the advent of the first commercially available devices. Pre and post hd weights blood pressures crit line measurements and intradialytic symptoms were collected on the day of the bia measurements. Hypertension and hyperhydration in hemodialysis patients. Most body water is stored in muscle.
Whole body single frequency bia measurements were obtained before hd each hour on hd and after hd during two hd sessions. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a commonly used method for estimating body composition in particular body fat and muscle mass. Whole body bioimpedance measurement measurement of total body bioimpedance is the most commonly used method for estimating whole body compartments. In bia a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance of the body. Many of the whole body bioimpedance instruments apply three approaches for impedance measurement. Nescolarde l bogónez p calpe j hernández r doñate t rosell j.
Therefore if a person is more muscular there is a high chance that the person will also have more body water which leads to lower impedance. Correlations between whole body impedance measurements and various bioconductor volumes such as total body water and fat free mass are experimentally well established. Bioelectrical impedance analysis or bioimpedance analysis bia is a method of assessing your body composition the measurement of body fat in relation to lean body mass.
