Body composition measurement plays an important role in the nutritional diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In the past 30 years, the detection of body composition based on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been widely used and explored in a variety of diseases. With the development of technology, bioelectrical impedance analysis has gradually developed from single-frequency BIA (SF-BIA) to multi-frequency BIA (multi-frequency BIA, MF-BIA) and over a range of frequencies (bioimpedance spectroscopy, BIS). As the clinical significance of nutrition management in chronic kidney disease has gradually become prominent, body composition measurement by BIA has been favored by nephrologists and nutritionists. In the past 20 years, there have been many studies on the application of BIA in patients with CKD. This review describes and summarizes the latest research results of BIA in nutritional management of patients with CKD including pre-dialysis, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, in order to provide reference for the application and research of BIA in nutritional management of chronic kidney disease in the future.
