Measurement of Bone Mass by Total Body Calcium: A Review

Comparison of Muscle Mass, Total Body Water and Total Body Protein in Type II Diabetics with Healthy Matched Adults by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

Background: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a new and rapid technique to validate body composition. Several studies have used this technique to evaluate body compositions, such as muscle mass, in diabetic patients, but the results are very different. This may due the differences between diabetic patients and control group. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the muscle mass of diab...

Total body mass is better than body mass index as a prognostic parameter for bone mineral density in dialyzed patients.

Assuming that nutrition status also influences bone mineral density (BMD) in dialyzed patients, we compared BMD in two groups of dialyzed patients: those with a body mass index (BMI) above 25 kg/m2 [group I: n = 20; 11 women; 19 on peritoneal dialysis (PD), 1 on hemodialysis (HD); age: 60.9 +/- 13.6 years; time on dialysis: 19.3 months (range: 6.5 - 45.7 months)], and those with a BMI below 25 ...

Simultaneous measurement of a deficit in total body calcium and phosphorus in diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism.

Measurement of Total Body Exchangeable Potassium

Studies were undertaken to appraise the cellular potassium status of children with the nephrotic syndrome, utilizing two techniques: Measurement of total body exchangeable potassium (Ke) by isotope dilution and determination of the potassium content of red blood cells by direct chemical analysis. The Ke values obtained on the nephrotic children are compared to similar data obtained on "hospital...
