Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is the most widely used technique in body
composition analysis. When we focus the use of phase sensitive BIA on its raw parameters …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent and serious complication of chronic
haemodialysis, linked to adverse long-term outcomes including increased cardiovascular …

Although the need to assess hydration is well recognized, laboratory tests and clinical
impressions are impractical and lack sensitivity, respectively, to be clinically meaningful …

Fluid volume and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients is an essential
component of dialysis adequacy. Restoring salt and water homeostasis in hemodialysis …

Both overhydration and comorbidity predict mortality in end-stage kidney failure (ESKF) but it
is not clear whether these are independent of one another. We undertook a systematic …

Nearly 500 000 individuals are treated with maintenance hemodialysis for kidney failure in
the United States, and roughly half will die of cardiovascular causes. Hypertension, an …

Volume overload is an important, may be the foremost, independent prognostic factor
determining the outcome of hemodialysis patients. Therefore, it is crucial to measure fluid …

The aim of the paper is to reflect on the current status of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) in
fluid management in dialysis patients. BIS identifies fluid overload (FO) as a virtual …

Optimal management of infectious diseases is guided by up-to-date information at the
individual and public health levels. For infections of global importance, including emerging …

Abstract Approximately 7%–10% of patients with ESKD worldwide undergo peritoneal
dialysis (PD) as kidney replacement therapy. The continuous nature of this dialytic modality …
