A multicentric, international matched pair analysis of body composition in peritoneal dialysis versus haemodialysis patients

Abstract

The LTI was impaired, and this was more in males versus females, but was better preserved on PD versus HD, whereas fat tissue index (FTI) was increased, but not different between PD and HD. Volume overload was more present in PD versus HD when TAVO, but not when predialysis volume status, was used as a reference.
