Do Pre‐Hemodialysis Estimates of Extracellular Volume Excess Using Bioimpedance and N‐Terminal Brain Natriuretic Peptide Correl
Nephrology | TBW, ECW, ICW | S Yoowannakul et al. | 2018 | UK | Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis
Bioimpedance can be used to measure extracellular water (ECW) and total body water in hemodialysis (HD) patients and estimate ECW excess. However, ECW excess potentially includes both an increase in the plasma volume and also the extravascular volume. Overestimating the amount of fluid to be removed during HD risks intra‐dialytic hypotension. We wished to determine the association between estimates of ECW excess comparing several different equations using bioimpedance, brain N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic …
Changes in upper limb extracellular water content during hemodialysis measured by multi-frequency bioimpedance
Nephrology | Segmental ECW/TBW | Sanjee Kumar, Davenport A et al. | 2013 | UK | International journal of Artificial Organs
Introduction Hemodialysis patients are at risk of chronic volume overload, with consequent increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Multifrequency bioimpedance allows assessment of body fluid volumes. Devices vary from two paired electrodes which measure bioimpedance down one side of the body to four paired electrodes which measure both sides of the body. As arteriovenous fistulae may cause arm swelling, we investigated whether the presence of a fistula affected bioimpedance limb measurements. Methods We …
Association of B-type natriuretic peptide level with residual kidney function in incident peritoneal Dialysis patients
Nephrology | ECW/TBW | Y Kawai et al | 2018 | Japan | Peritoneal Dialysis International
Background Residual kidney function (RKF) is an important factor influencing both technique and patient survival in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is considered a marker of cardio-renal syndrome. The relationship between BNP and RKF in PD patients remains unclear. Methods We conducted a prospective study of 89 patients who had started and continued PD for 6 months or more in Kyushu University Hospital between June 2006 and September 2015. Participants were divided into low BNP …
Assessment of fluid shifts of body compartments using both bioimpedance analysis and blood volume monitoring
Nephrology | TBW | Soo-Jeong Yu et al. | 2006 | Korea | Journal of Korean Medical Science
Fluid shifts are commonplace in chronic hemodialysis patients during the intra-and interdialytic periods. In this study, we evaluated fluid shifts of body compartments using both bioimpedance spectroscopy and blood volume monitoring from the start to the end of hemodialysis. 24 stable hemodialysis patients were included on the study. Relative change of blood volume was progressively reduced from the start to the end of hemodialysis (1 hr,-7.22±3.23%; 2 hr,-9.78±4.69%; 3 hr,-12.88±5.65%; 4 hr,-15.41±6.54%, respectively) …
Association between serum n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide concentration and left ventricular dysfunction and extracell
Nephrology | TBW, ECW, ICW | Dong-Jin oh et al. | 2006 | Korea | Peritoneal Dialysis International
Background This study investigated the association between serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels and extracellular water (ECW%) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Methods The study involved 30 stable CAPD patients: 14 males, 16 females; mean age 52±14 years; mean CAPD duration 34±12 months; 12 with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 18 non-DM. Serum NT-pro-BNP levels were determined using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay …
Proteinuria as a risk factor for decline in residual renal function in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients
Nephrology | ECW/TBW | Kang SH et al. | 2013 | Korea | Kidney and Blood Pressure Research
Background: Preservation of residual renal function (RRF) is a major issue for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Whether proteinuria is associated with a decline in RRF in patients on PD remains unclear. Patients and Methods: We reviewed the medical records at the Yeungnam University Hospital in Korea and identified patients who started PD between June 1995 and August 2011. A total of 147 non-diabetic patients were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups with respect to the tertile of initial proteinuria level …
