Bioimpedance spectroscopy of regional tissue fluid distinguished lipedema from Dercum's disease (lower leg/arm R0 ratio in lipedema, p<0.001) and detected stage 1 lipedema versus matched controls (leg/arm ratio R0 p=0.01, R1 p=0.007), with leg extracellular water increasing across lipedema stages (p=0.03), proposing BIS as an objective adjunct biomarker for diagnosis and staging.

The question concerns clinical criteria and stage/type classification systems and their reliability. This study uses the conventional clinical stage classification (stage 1-3) as a reference and proposes an objective bioimpedance biomarker
