Hydration abnormalities in Nigerian patients on chronic hemodialysis
Hemodialysis International, 2007AbstractThe state of hydration affects the outcomes of chronic dialysis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provides estimates of body water (V), extracellular volume (ECFV), and fat‐free mass (FFM) that allow characterization of hydration. We compared single‐frequency BIA measurements before and after 14 hemodialysis sessions in 10 Nigerian ...
