Bioimpedance monitoring of cellular hydration during hemodialysis therapy

Discussion These results suggest that an extensive fluid shift into the cells may take place during HD. The present research may contribute to a better understanding of how factors that influence fluid redistribution may affect an ESRD patient during dialysis. In light of this finding, it is concluded that the rate of vascular refill is jointly determined with the rate of “cellular refill” and the transfer of fluid from the intertitial compartment into the intravascular space.
