Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) derives two main pieces of information—total tissue fluid
content, which when referring to the whole patient is equivalent to the total body water …

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in patients with end-stage renal
disease (ESRD). The initiation of dialysis for treatment of ESRD exacerbates chronic …

Objective: Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a potential field and clinical method for evaluating
skeletal muscle mass (SM) and% fat. A new BIA system has 8-(two on each hand and foot) …

Worsening fluid balance results in reduced technique and patient survival in peritoneal
dialysis. Under these conditions, the glucose polymer icodextrin is known to enhance …

Background. Achieving normohydration remains a non-trivial issue in haemodialysis
therapy. Guiding the haemodialysis patient on the path between fluid overload and …

Background. Chronic fluid overload (FO) is frequently present in peritoneal dialysis (PD)
patients and is associated with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy and …

Bioelectric impedance vector distribution in peritoneal dialysis patients with different
hydration status. Background In continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), total …

Chronic volume overload is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and high
cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing dialysis. Therefore, estimating body fluid …

Background: Malnutrition is a strong predictor of mortality in maintenance peritoneal dialysis
(PD) patients. Various factors have been identified to contribute to the development of …

Background and objectives: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients may be overhydrated
especially when inflammation is present. We hypothesized that patients with a plasma …
