Phase angle detected by bioelectrical impedance analysis, especially when combined with other body composition parameters, is a useful predictor of protein-energy wasting and cardiovascular risk in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Wang et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Maintenance hemodialysis (n=161). Low phase angle vs. High phase angle was evaluated on Incidence of protein-energy wasting (PEW) (p=<0.001). Lower phase angle was associated with a significantly greater incidence of protein-energy wasting (P < 0.001) and higher cardiovascular risk scores among maintenance hemodialysis patients.
