Dry weight - Open Access .click

Seminars in Nephrology, 2001
To achieve good blood pressure control and minimal intradialytic patient discomfort, it is very important to define the correct dry weight and individualize the "adequate" dialysate sodium concentration. Given the highly variable amounts of sodium introduced during interdialytic periods, the use of the sodium and conductivity kinetic models guarantees ...

Clinical Determination of Dry Body Weight

Hemodialysis International, 2001
While nephrologists wait for the ideal, non invasive, inexpensive, precise, and reproducible tool to evaluate extracellular volume (ECV), they need to exert their clinical acumen in the quest of that holy grail, dry weight (DW).Estimation of DW using a clinical approach based on blood pressure (BP) and ECV is feasible and reliable as shown by ...

Dry weight in hemodialysis: Volemic control

Seminars in Nephrology, 2001
In dialysis patients the chronic fluid overload may represent a nonphysiologic condition which brings both arterial hypertension and hemodynamic instability. Volume expansion is significantly correlated to casual predialysis blood pressure and 24-hour arterial pressure.

A fresh look at dry weight

Hemodialysis International, 2008
AbstractThe concept of dry weight (DW) is central to dialysis therapy. The most commonly used definition of DW is the weight below which patients become hypotensive on dialysis. However, this definition is dependent on patient symptoms. A more rigorous definition of DW is the body weight at a physiological extracellular volume (ECV) state ...
