Comparison of volume status in asymptomatic haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis outpatients.

摘要: Background: The majority of haemodialysis (HD) patients gain weight between dialysis sessions and thereby become volume overloaded, whereas peritoneal (PD) is a more continuous technique. Cardiovascular mortality hypertension increased with both treatment modalities. We therefore wished to compare status in PD HD determine whether are chronically as risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Study Design, Setting Participants:We retrospectively audited 72 healthy 115 attending university hospital centre routine outpatient treatment, who had multi-frequency bioimpedance measurements extracellular water total body (ECW/TBW). Results: groups were well matched age, sex, ethnicity, greater urine output [1,075 (485–1,613) vs. 42.5 (0–1,020) ml/day, p Conclusions: Overhydration common stable outpatients, ECW volumes not dissimilar those pre-dialysis patients. role chronic overload disease needs further investigation.
