Assess Mrs. Caldwell's height and weight. Calculate her BMI and her % usual body weight. How would edema affect your interpretation of this information? Using the KDOQI guidelines, what is Mrs. Caldwell's adjusted body weight?
What will be an ideal response?
Height: 157.4 cm, weight: 77.1 kg, UBW: ∼74 kg
BMI: 31.1 (per 77.1 kg weight)
%UBW: 104%
Edema certainly may account for the change from UBW.
SBW (medium frame) = 61 kg
Adjusted body weight = edema-free body weight + [(standard BW- edema-free BW) ? 0.25] = 74 + [(61 - 74) ? 0.25] = 70.75 kg
