Analysis of Body Composition in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Radioablation
- Conditions
- Liver Carcinoma
- Interventions
- Behavioral: HCC under treatment with radioablation
- Registration Number
- NCT01744639
- Lead Sponsor
- Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion Salvador Zubiran
- Brief Summary
Number of shows: 20 patients Track: A month with three visiting Intervention: Nutritional assessment including anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, biochemical tests, Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score and Critical Flicker Frequency.
- Detailed Description
There will be a prospective, longitudinal, comparative. It included 20 patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma. As there are a finite number of active patients at the institute, and no studies with sample size well established, has seen a sample size of 20 patients.
The duration of individual monitoring shall be one month to three visits (baseline, week 2 and week 4 after receiving the first radiofrequency ablation). Each visit will be a nutritional assessment including anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, biochemical tests, Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score (PHES) and Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF).
Anthropometric measures to be taken are weight, height and arm circumference average.
Bioelectrical impedance will be using a single frequency impedance meter (425 to -50 KHz, Range 0 to 10,000) Bioelectrical Body Composition Analyzer Quantium II RJL Systems. The team measured the subjects' impedance, resistance, reactance and phase angle by Lean Body program provided by the manufacturer.
Hepatic encephalopathy be evaluated by testing PHES and was measured CFF, also also be measured ammonium, tumor necrosis factor, IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, renin angiotensin aldosterone.

Group Intervention Description HCC under treatment with radioablation HCC under treatment with radioablation Assessment of nutritional status by anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, blood sampling and application of psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score and critical flicker frequency, to assess the presence of hepatic encephalopathy.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Nutritional Status Participants will be evaluated for a month Measured with the following parameters:body weight and height (to calculate BMI), triceps skinfold and mid-arm circumference (to calculated mid-arm muscle circumference, fat mass, fat free mass total, intracellular and extracellular body water obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis and individual vectors obtained by bioelectrical impedance vector analysis.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Minimal hepatic encephalopathy Participants will be assessed for one month Assessed by psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy (PHES) and Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF)
