Lean Body Mass Estimation by Creatinine Kinetics, Bioimpedance, and Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Patients on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Lean body mass (LBM), which is fat free body mass, can be used as an index of nutritional status. We evaluated three techniques for LBM estimation, including dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), creatinine kinetics (CrKin), and bioimpedance (BI) in 10 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal
