Abstract :

Background: Nephrotic syndrome is the state of massive proteinuria, hypoalbunemia, hyperlipidemia and oedema. Various body composition changes occur with disease itself and use of long term steroid too. Until now the difference between body composition in nephrotic and healthy children has not been evaluated. Aims and objective: The aim of this study was to know different body composition in nephrotic children with bioelectrical impedance analyser (Inbody S10) and compare it with concurrent healthy children. Material and method: Body composition analysis of 30 patient newly diagnosed as Nephrotic syndrome or relapse with oedema and 30 healthy control attending paediatrics outdoor of Bhagat Phool Singh Medical college Khanpur kalan Sonepat, Haryana was done by IN body S10 analyser after taking anthropometry and prior consent . Results: Protein mass and skeletal muscle mass was significantly less p=0.000and p=0.008 respectively in nephrotic cases .percentage body fat and mineral mass was not significantly affected in NS as compare to healthy control. Extracellular water/total body water was significantly higher (p=.000) in Nephrotic, which rule out hypovolemic state in NS and BMI was more (p=0.003) in nephrotic children as compare to control. Conclusion: We observed that Nephrotic syndrome is state of higher BMI, low protein and skeletal muscle mass and without hypovolemia although percentage body fat and mineral mass is not affected by disease.
