Visceral fat area is associated with HbA1c but not dialysate-related glucose load in nondiabetic PD patients.

Patients taking RAS blockades showed a trend toward lower VFA relative to those who did not take RAS blockades (346 ± 184 mm 2 /kg/m 2 vs. 410 ± 192 mm 2 /kg/m 2 , p = 0.09), while the patients taking beta blockades exhibited significantly higher VFA relative to those who did not take beta blockades (405 ± 199 mm 2 /kg/m 2 vs. 330 ± 167 mm 2 /kg/m 2 , p = 0.05).

Higher HbA1c was associated with larger TFA (P = 0.013) and VFA (P = 0.002) in nondiabetic PD patients, while the differences in SFA between groups did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.17) ( Fig. 1 ).
