Abstract
Background. Finding a method that can be routinely used to assess body composition with minimum error is still a challenge for those who work with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study aimed to compare the value of two surrogate techniques, skinfold thickness (SKF) and creatinine kinetics (CK) with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as the reference method for measuring body fat and fat-free mass in non-dialysed CKD patients.Keywords
