The maintenance of body cell mass (BCM) is critical for survival in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Accuracy of bioimpedance for measuring change (Delta ) in intracellular water (ICW), which defines BCM, is uncertain. To evaluate bioimpedance-estimated Delta BCM, the ICW of 21 weight-losing HIV patients was measured before and after anabolic steroid therapy by dilution (total body water by deuterium - extracellular water by bromide) and bioimpedance. Multiple-frequency modeling- and dilution-determined Delta ICW did not differ. The Delta ICW was predicted poorly by 50-kHz parallel reactance, 50-kHz impedance, and 200 - 5-kHz impedance. The Delta ICW predicted by 500 - 5-kHz impedance was closer to, but statistically different from, dilution-determined Delta ICW. However, the effect of random error on the measurement of systematic error in the 500 - 5-kHz method was 12-13% of the average measured Delta ICW; this was nearly twice the percent difference between obtained and threshold statistics. Although the 500 - 5-kHz method cannot be fully rejected, these results support the conclusion that only the multiple-frequency modeling approach accurately monitors Delta BCM in HIV infection.
