The best way to measure extracellular water is to divide your extracellular water by your total body water (ECW/TBW). The number you receive will represent the ratio of extracellular water to your total body water.
Body Composition Analysis & Body Water. ECW/TBW Analysis. ECW/TBW is a measure of compartmental fluid distribution and shows, as a ratio, how much of your total body water is extracellular. Taking multiple InBody Tests will establish your normal fluid status and help determine any imbalances.
Extracellular Water/Total Body Water Analysis (ECW/TBW): Ratio of Extracellular Water to Total Body Water; an important indicator of body water balance. In a healthy state, your ECW/TBW ratio should fall within the range 0.360 to 0.390.
What it means: This is the total amount of water in your body, divided into Intracellular Water (ICW) and Extracellular Water (ECW). How to interpret: A healthy TBW percentage is typically around 50-65% of your total body weight. If your percentage is lower, it might indicate dehydration.
Extracellular Water (ECW) Extracellular water is the water located outside your cells. The water in your blood falls into this category. Roughly 1/3 of your fluid is attributed to ECW, and this water is found in your interstitial fluid, transcellular fluid, and blood plasma.
ECW/TBW, the ratio of Extracellular Water to Total Body Water, is an important indicator of body water balance. In a healthy state, ECW Ratio should be between 0.36 to 0.39. If your ECW Ratio is higher than .39, please consult your physician.
ECW RATIO ANALYSIS he ECW Ratio Analysis compares the ratio of ECW to TBW. Most healthy people will have an average ratio of around 0.380, with the acceptable range being between 0.360 – 0.390. Anything beyond 0.390 may indicate swelling or excess ECW. You’ll see minor fluctuations in your client’s ECW Ratio - that’s normal. This
