We reviewed some of the latest advancements in the use of mathematical models in
nephrology. We looked over 2 distinct categories of mathematical models that are widely …

Background Relative blood volume (RBV) changes during hemodialysis (HD) are typically
estimated based on online measurements of hematocrit, hemoglobin or total blood protein …

Introduction The success of automatic feedback control systems to improve hemodynamic
stability by preventing relative blood volume from dropping beyond a critical value during …

Background Attaining the optimal balance between achieving adequate volume removal
while preserving organ perfusion is a challenge for patients receiving maintenance …

Introduction Prescribing the ultrafiltration in hemodialysis patients remains challenging and
might benefit from the information on absolute blood volume, estimated by intradialytic …

In this issue of the ASAIO Journal, Keane et al. 1 present the results of their exploratory study
on the combined use of whole body bioimpedance (WBB) and relative blood volume (RBV) …

Background Absolute blood volume (ABV) is a critical component of fluid status, which may
inform target weight prescriptions and hemodynamic vulnerability of dialysis patients. Here …

Online hemodiafiltration machines equipped with a blood volume monitor and the possibility
to rapidly infuse exact amounts of ultrapure dialysate into the extracorporeal circulation can …

Absolute blood volume can be calculated from the increase in relative blood volume after an
infusion of a well-defined volume bolus of ultrapure dialysate into the extracorporeal …
