The interest in the method is due to the associations between fluid overload and cardiovascular disease, and between fluid overload and malnutrition, both of which contribute to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality (Hur et al., <span>2013</span>; Onofriescu et al., <span>2014</span>). Moreover, BIA devices are suitable for clinical use, since they are portable, easy to use and, with a median to low price. However, the results can be difficult to interpret and integrate into routine clinical care, and although impedance measurements can contribute to an increased understanding of the patient's fluid balance, the results should be used with caution and in combination with other physiological parameters and clinical assessments (de Ruiter et al., <span>2020</span>; Scotland et al., <span>2018</span>). The aim of this editorial is to contribute to increased awareness of the benefits and limitations of using bioimpedance in patients with CKD with or without dialysis, and contribute to improving the measurement quality, facilitating interpretations, and highlighting possible sources of error.</p><p>BIA can be defined as the resistance measured by a weak alternating current when conducted through biological tissue. The conductivity differs between different tissues, which makes it possible to estimate body composition and fluid balance. BIA equipment measures impedance, which includes the <i>reactance</i> (capacitive impedance in cell membranes and other structures) and <i>resistance</i> (resistance due to extracellular [ECW] and intracellular water [ICW]). These variables can be measured with good precision and reproducibility between different devices (Kyle et al., <span>2004</span>).</p><p>However, it is of fundamental importance to understand the limitations of BIA technology to avoid unrealistic expectations of measurement accuracy and precision (Ward, <span>2019</span>). Deriving body composition information from impedance data includes estimated and assumed parameters and the use of population-averaged factors, such as body shape. Although it is plausible that prediction equations could be improved by including more individual-level information (e.g., the use of plasma sodium to improve estimations of tissue resistivity (Mitsides et al., <span>2020</span>; Schneditz et al., <span>2023</span>) this would have huge implications for the ease of use and applicability of the technology.</p><p>Variations in agreement between different impedance techniques and devices as well as with reference methods for measuring body composition can largely be attributed to the choice of method and device-specific software (Kyle, <span>2004</span>; Kyle et al., <span>2004</span>; Sheean et al., <span>2020</span>).

A qualitative evaluation of the prototype was conducted using the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist for reporting.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Approach</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Seven individual interviews and four focus groups were analysed using interpretive description.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Participants</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Individual interviews with seven patients who have stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease and are not on dialysis, and four focus groups: one with participants from the individual interviews, one with six patients on haemodialysis, one with 13 kidney dieticians and one with seven health professionals.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Findings</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Both patients and healthcare professionals were positive about the app. Individualisation is necessary for the app to work in practice. The patients reported access to a diet diary and recipes as important elements.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>There is a need to improve the tools we use today to enhance patient adherence to dietary recommendations. The development of an app for individual dietary counselling could be a useful solution.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16947,"journal":{"name":"Journal of renal care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jorc.12473","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9664595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
