Abstract:AimProtein‐energy wasting (PEW) is a common syndrome in patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) and is associated with poor prognosis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)‐derived phase angle (PA) is useful for predicting PEW, but sex and age need to be considered. We aimed to reveal sex‐specific cut‐off values of PA predicting PEW in HD patients aged ≥65.MethodsThis two‐centre retrospective cohort study included patients on HD who underwent BIA. PEW was detected using the International Society of Renal Nutri… Show more
