Lung Ultrasound and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Fluid Status Assessing Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Volume overload is a fatal complication for people undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, regulating a patient's "dry weight" based on their fluid status is imperative. Clinical experiences are too subjective to accurately judge a patient's fluid status, but techniques have emerged for improved fluid control in the two decades. Specifically, lung ultrasonography (LUS) uses a unique aspect of ultrasound images, the B-lines, to evaluate extravascular lung water, which has increasingly attracted attention. However, the role of B-line quantification in predicting short-mid-term death and/or cardiovascular complications is unclear.

Methods

Patients undergoing MHD at the hemodialysis center of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from October 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021
