HCV1 Genotype 2b; ICW2=Intracellular Water; ECW3=Extracellular Water; Phase Angle4=The phase angle is defined as the relation between the two vector components of impedance: resistance and reactance. It may be interpreted as an indicator of water distribution between the extra- and intracellular spaces [27] |
