There is growing evidence from experimental and clinical studies that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of malnutrition. This cross‐sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between glutathione peroxidase ( GPx ) levels as a marker of antioxidant status and the nutritional status assessed by bioimpedance analysis ( BIA ). Ninety‐seven nondiabetic stable outpatient uremic adults undergoing chronic hemodialysis ( HD ) were recruited for this study. Impedance measurements were performed using a multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer after dialysis. GPx levels correlated with intracellular water ( ICW ) ( r = 0.341, P = 0.011), ICW /total body weight ( r = 0.320, P = 0.017), lean body mass ( r = 0.300, P = 0.026) and total body cell mass ( r = 0.339, P = 0.011). When patients were divided into two groups according to mean GPx levels (83.9 U/gr hemoglobin), the patients with higher GPx ( GPx > 83.9 U/gr hemoglobin) had higher albumin ( P = 0.038), lean body mass ( P = 0.026), ICW ( P = 0.011), and total body cell mass ( P = 0.011) compared with those with lower GPx ( GPx ≤ 83.9 U/gr hemoglobin). Furthermore, in the patients with higher GPx , body fat; extracellular water/total body water; illness marker and body fat mass index were lower than other group. In conclusion, our results reveal correlation indicating a relationship between antioxidant status (as measured by GPx ) and nutritional status as assessed by BIA in nondiabetic HD patients.
