Core Tip	Despite peripheral oedema and ascites patients with cirrhosis may be intravascularly volume deplete and require parenteral fluids to prevent acute kidney injury. We assessed whether non-invasive measurements with multifrequency bioimpedance and echocardiography aided clinical assessment of volume status. Multifrequency bioimpedance showed that patients with decompensated cirrhosis had similar total body water to stable cirrhotics, but with an expanded extracellular volume, suggesting increased vascular permeability. Echocardiography was not helpful in assessing volume status in the two groups, and neither echocardiography nor multifrequency bioimpedance could aid assessment of intravascular volume.
