[The role of electrical bioimpedance in the evaluation of the hydration status of patients with liver cirrhosis].
Polski Merkuriusz Lekarski : Organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego 2018 September 22
Patients with liver cirrhosis are a group particularly exposed to the development of water and electrolyte disturbances, having a significant impact on the course of the disease and the quality of life. Precise and rapid assessment of the hydration status of patients often determines the further course of the disease, the success of treatment and the time of hospitalization. For this reason, it is important to maintain the water and electrolyte balance in a state of equilibrium. So far, no one optimized diagnostic tool has been found to assess the hydration status of the organism, which would become a gold standard. Despite some limitations, it should be noted that the electrical bioimpedance (BIA) method makes it possible to assess the total body water volume, extracellular space, intracellular space, as well as the content of sodium ions, which affects the flow of fluids between these spaces. It is an excellent non-invasive tool in diagnosing hydration status of patients with liver cirrhosis, kidney failure and cardiovascular diseases.
