Abstract

Hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a prevalence of up to 85%. Fluid overload is a predictor of mortality and a significant relationship between volume status and blood pressure (BP) has been reported. The approach of the volume status with bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) and determination of phase angle (PhA) gains strength in nephrology. So far, no reference cut-off point to determine the relationship of the PhA with hydric overload or with some pattern of arterial hypertension had been reported.
