Abstract
Rationale: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are vulnerable to loss of muscle mass due to metabolic derangements.Reference methods for body composition evaluation such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) are usually unfeasible in clinical setting.The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of predictive equations in estimating fat free mass (FFM) and appendicular FFM (AFFM),compared to DXA, in non-dialysis-dependent (NDD), hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) and kidney transplant (KTx) CKD patients
