Abstract

Objectives: To assess fluid status using bioimpedance spectroscopy and investigate its associations with clinical and laboratory parameters in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study involving 140 stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis at the Nephrology, Urology and Dialysis Center of Bach Mai Hospital, from November 2025 to April 2026. Results: The mean age of the patients was 45.66 ± 13.75 years. The prevalence of fluid overload was 64.3%. Independent factors associated with overhydration (OH) were gender, serum albumin, hematocrit, age, 24-hour urine volume and diuretic use. Conclusion: Fluid overload is highly prevalent among patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and is associated with multiple factors. Periodic monitoring with the BCM device can support the early detection of fluid overload in this patient population.
