Background

Extracellular volume expansion predicts higher mortality and adverse cardio-renal outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The higher value of the extracellular water (ECW) to total body water (TBW) ratio (ECW/TBW) measured by bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a marker of extracellular volume expansion. However, the determinants of the ECW/TBW in CKD stage 3-5 have not yet been fully evaluated.

Methods

One hundred and one non-dialysis CKD patients (stage 3-5) were enrolled in this study. Body fluid volume including intracellular water (ICW), ECW and TBW was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis device (InBody S10).

Results

Average values are the following: age 63.7±14.5 years, male 61.4%, body mass index (BMI) 24.8±4.7, systolic blood pressure 135±20 mmHg, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 33.3±16.4 mL/min/1.73m2, hemoglobin 11.6±2.3 g/dL, serum albumin 3.4±0.8 g/dL and the ECW/TBW 0.393±0.028 (normal range 0.36-0.39). The ECW/TBW correlated positively with age (r=0.373, p=0.0001), systolic blood pressure (r=0.248, p=0.014), and ECW (r=0.336, p=0.0006), while it correlated negatively with hemoglobin (r=-0.328, p=0.001), eGFR (r=-0.398, p<0.0001) and serum albumin (r=-0.533, p<0.0001). On the other hand, the ECW/TBW was not correlated with BMI (r=0.087, p=0.385), serum Na (r=-0.074, p=0.463), ICW (r=-0.146, p=0.146) and TBW (r=0.056, p=0.581), respectively. A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that serum albumin (p<0.0001), age (p=0.0002) and eGFR (p=0.0002) were independent determinants of the ECW/TBW.

Conclusion

Low serum albumin, high age and low eGFR are independently associated with higher extracellular volume status in CKD stage 3-5. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the impact of extracellular volume status and these factors on long-term outcomes.
