Potential Role for Using Bioimpedance to Reduce the Risk of Intra‐Dialytic Hypotension

We found that hemodialysis patients acutely admitted to hospital with a relatively lower extracellular to intracellular ratio of trunk compared to a similar ratio in the left arm had a greater incidence of intradialytic hypotension. As such, reviewing segmental bioimpedance may aid clinical assessments of patients in setting ultrafiltration volumes and post-dialysis target weights and prevent intradialytic hypotension.
