Background Chronic subclinical volume overload happens very frequently in hemodialysis
patients and is associated directly with hypertension, increased arterial stiffness, left …

There can be little doubt that bioimpedance measurements in patients undergoing dialysis
have predictive value. In a systematic review of cohort studies in which multivariable survival …

Managing patient 'dry weight'according to clinical standards has deficiencies. Research has
focused on the effectiveness of using bioelectrical impedance technology for fluid …

Underestimation of the dry weight of hemodialysis patients can result in unwelcome
symptoms and intradialytic hypotension, which may be associated with adverse outcomes …

The American writer and comedian Erma Bom-beck once quipped,“Never go to a doctor
whose houseplants have died.” 1 (p19) Some plants need more water, some need less, and …

Results A total of 240 patients (mean age, 49 years; men, 51%; diabetic, 21%, 120 per
group) were enrolled. After 1-year follow-up, 11 (5%) patients died (three in BIA versus eight …

Introduction Technological adjuncts have been developed to improve the accuracy of fluid
removal goals in maintenance dialysis recipients. We aimed to determine whether the …

The usefulness of bioimpedance spectroscopy in guiding fluid management in dialysis
patients is not yet clear. Bioimpedance can drive clinical decisions that lead to significant …

Introduction Segmental eight‐point bioimpedance has been increasingly used in practice.
However, whether changes in bioimpedance analysis components before and after …
