Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at baseline and 3 months: 1. Weight: The weight reached by the patient at the end of a session which has removed the maximum fluid without inducing hypotension (seca 676 wheelchair scale, wireless) 2. Body mass index: body mass divided by the square of the body height 3. Anthropometric measurements: skinfold thickness (biceps, triceps, subescapular, supra-iliac) using a Lange skin fold caliper to estimate: 3.1. Fat mass percentage: calculated using Siri's (1956) equation = (4.95/density)-4.50*100 3.2. Mid-upper arm circumference: measured at the mid-point between the tip of the shoulder and the tip of the elbow (olecranon process and the acromium) 3.3. Mid arm muscle circumference = mid arm circumference – (p x triceps skinfold thickness) 3.4. Bone-free arms muscle area: males = [(midarm circumference (cm) - p x triceps (cm)]2/4 p) - 10; females = [(midarm circumference (cm) - p x triceps (cm)]2/4 p) - 6.5 4. Handgrip strength, measured using hand dynamometry (Smedley III, Takei Scientific Instruments, Niigata City, Japan) 5. Serum albumin, measured using the bromocresol purple albumin assay 6. Physical function, measured using the six-minute walk test according to the American Thoracic Society Guidelines, Time Up and Go Test (Podsiadlo, D et al. J Am Geriatr Soc, 1191;39:142-148), five times sit to stand test 7. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (resistance, reactance and phase angle), measured using conventional impedance (single frequency; Quantum System, RJL Systems, Clinton Township, MI, USA) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at baseline and 3 months: 1. Quality of life, measured using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOF-SF) 2. C Reactive Protein, measured using the nephelometric assay | — |
