Volume overload in haemodialysis (HD) patients associates with hypertension and cardiac
dysfunction and is a major risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in this …

Determining dry weight and assessing extracellular fluid volume in hemodialysis (HD)
patients is one of the greatest challenges to practicing nephrologists. The clinical …

Background: Volume overload is a factor in the hypertension of hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Fluid removal is therefore integral to the hemodialysis treatment. Fluid removal by …

Background Observational data have demonstrated an association between higher
ultrafiltration rates and greater mortality among hemodialysis patients. Prior studies were …

In this study, we aimed to examine the impact of volume status on blood pressure (BP) and
on left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. This study …

Despite considerable advances in assessment of dialysis adequacy with respect to solute
removal, currently no measure of adequacy is available for fluid removal. The majority of …

Background Intradialytic hypotension is a clinically significant problem, however, the
hemodynamics that underlie ultrafiltration and consequent hypotensive episodes has not …

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 …

Introduction: Adequate volume management removing excess volume and at the same time
avoiding intradialytic morbid events (IME) remains a core problem in current hemodialysis …

Despite advancements in dialysis therapy, the subjective clinical examination still remains
the standard of care in managing volume removal in chronic dialysis. While there is no …
