WCN25-2820 QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS IN MONARAGALA DISTRICT, SRI LANKA: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY
Conclusions:The proportion of patients in the normohydration (+/-1.1 liter) range in the bioimpedance arm is significantly higher than the clinical arm at the end of the study period.However, the episodes as well as proportion of patients developing symptomatic volume overload/depletion do not differ significantly between the two groups.This can be attributed to the regular clinical examination for assessment of dry-weight in our dialysis unit.However, in centers where clinician rounds do not happen on a regular basis, periodic bioimpedance can be a useful tool for the assessment of dry-weight and hydration status.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
