Popis: | Background Subclinical volume overload in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient represents a debatable issue. Although many tools were used to detect volume overload in such patients, many non-specific results were due to presence of comorbidities. Bioimpedance spectroscopy is an objective fluid status assessment method, which is shown superior to classical methods in many studies. Combining some of these tools may improve their accuracy and specificity. Inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) can be combined for more specific volume assessment. This study was performed to assess the usage of combined IVCCI and BNP levels in CKD patients to predict subclinical volume overload. Methods One hundred and ten patients with CKD (stages 4 and 5) not on dialysis and having normal left ventricular systolic function were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were: (1) patients with other causes of raised BNP than volume overload and (2) patients on diuretics. A complete medical history was obtained, and thorough examination and laboratory tests were performed for all included patients. IVCCI and BNP serum levels were evaluated. The patients who exhibited an overhydration (OH)/extracellular water (ECW) ratio of >15% were considered to have volume overload. Results Twenty-six patients (23.6%) had subclinical hypervolemia as diagnosed by OH/ECW ratio of >15%. IVCCI ≤ 38% had higher diagnostic performance than BNP ≥ 24 pg/mL. Combining both IVCCI ≤ 38% and BNP ≥ 24 pg/mL increased the specificity and positive predictive value for detection of subclinical hypervolemia. Conclusion Combined elevated BNP level and decreased IVCCI are more precise tools for subclinical volume overload detection in CKD patients. |
