| Core Tip |
Bio-impedance analysis (BIA) has been validated as an accurate and reliable tool for determining fluid status in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients but is not widely available in low-income settings. In this study we assess how a clinical score (CS) compares with BIA in this population for possible use as a low-cost substitute where BIA is not available. Patients with a CS score greater than 4 were considered to have fluid overload (FO), and detected using this parameter in 58.75% of patients. CSs of ≤ 4 represented no FO, and represented 41.25% of patients. The CS had a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 78% in making a diagnosis of FO compared with BIA, which was used as the reference in patients with CKD on maintenance haemodialysis. |
