Background Accurate volume status evaluation and differentiation of cardiac and non-cardiac components of overhydration (OH) are fundaments of optimal haemodialysis (HD) management. Methods This study, by combining bioimpedance measurements, cardiovascular biomarkers and echocardiography, aimed at dissecting OH into its major functional components, and prospectively tested the association between cardiac and non-cardiac components of OH with mortality. In the first part, we validated soluble CD146 (sCD146) as a non-cardiac biomarker of systemic congestion in a cohort of 30 HD patients. In the second part, we performed a prospective 1-year follow-up study in an independent cohort of 144 HD patients. Results sCD146 incrementally increased after the short and long intervals after HD (+53 ng/mL, P = 0.006 and  +91 ng/mL, P < 0.001), correlated with OH as determined by bioimpedance and well-diagnosed OH (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve 0.72, P = 0.005). The prevalence of OH was lower for low-sCD146 and low-BNP patients (B-type natriuretic peptide, 29%) compared with subjects with either one or both biomarkers elevated (65-74%, P < 0.001). Notably, most low-BNP but high-sCD146 subjects were overhydrated. Systolic dysfunction was 2- to 3-fold more prevalent among high-BNP compared with low-BNP patients (44-68% versus 21-23%, chi-square P < 0.001), regardless of sCD146. One-year all-cause mortality was markedly higher in patients with high-BNP (P = 0.001) but not with high-sCD146. In multivariate analysis, systolic dysfunction and BNP, but not OH, were associated with lower survival. Conclusions The combination of BNP and sCD146 dissects OH into functional components of prognostic value. OH in HD patients is associated with higher mortality only if resulting from cardiac dysfunction.
