Description
Seok-Hui Kang and co-authors test phase angle as a warning sign for death in peritoneal dialysis patients, in a 2023 paper. Phase angle comes from a bioimpedance scan of the body and reflects cell health and nutrition. Whether it predicts survival in these patients, better than classic risk markers, needed proof.
The center measured 199 patients and split them into low, middle, and high phase angle thirds. Over five years, survival rose steeply with phase angle, reaching one hundred percent in the highest group. Both simple and adjusted risk models agreed, and phase angle predicted patient and treatment survival better than standard indicators. The authors present this quick scan value as a practical tool for dialysis care.
