Changes in Total Protein Concentration Due to Fluid Removal During and Shortly after Hemodialysis

Conclusions: On average, after equilibration, the change in plasma volume due to fluid removal is similar to the modeled change in total body water (urea space), irrespective of dialysate to serum sodium gradient. This supports previous observations that during dialysis with ultrafiltration, plasma volume contracts to a lesser degree than the interstitial volume and that some fluid may be removed from spaces other than the extracellular fluid.Am J Nephrol 2018;48:118 –126
