摘要：Introduction. Ischemic stroke is caused by artery blockage, resulting in damage to brain tissue. A significant factor in
the further treatment of a patient is not only the time to reach a specialist centre, but also the state of hydration of the
organism. Clinical situations involving the excess or deficiency of water can have extremely serious consequences for the
functioning of the body and subsequent stroke-related disorders. One of the increasingly common methods of evaluating
the composition of the human body is by electrical bioimpedance.
Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the state of human body hydration measured by bioimpedance in patients
with an early stage of ischemic stroke.
Methods and materials. The examination involved 81 patients with ischemic stroke in the Neurology Department,
Subdivision of Stroke Treatment at the Province Specialist Hospital in Lublin, Poland, in 2015. Measurement of the composition
and outer and intracellular space of the human body by the Whole Body Bioimpedance (WBIA) method was performed
using the Body Composition Monitor (BCM) (Fresenius Medical Care GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany).
Results. A group of patients were been examined with the use of the BIA apparatus three times: on the first, seventh,
and tenth day of hospital stay, to determine the level of body hydration. Comparative analysis of data showed that on the
first day of hospitalization all the measurements of electrical bioimpedance parameters in the patients were significantly
different from those of the control group. In the case of TBW, ECW, ICW, the patients’ scores were significantly higher than
those of the control group. Only with respect to the over-hydration index, the patients achieved a significantly lower score
than the control group.
Conclusions. Assessment of hydration status in patients with a diagnosed stroke indicates a slight dehydration in relation
to the control group, but falling within the scope of normovolaemia, according to bioimpedance measurement standards.
