Abstract
Background Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is the primary complication of haemodialysis (HD); however, its diverse pathophysiology and inconsistent definitions complicate its prediction. Despite attempts using the heart rate variability (HRV) test for IDH prediction, studies on its usefulness for predicting IDH diagnosed per the nadir 90 criterion are lacking. We aimed to evaluate HRV test efficacy and reproducibility in predicting IDH based on the nadir 90 criterion. Methods Seventy patients undergoing HD participated in this multicentre prospective observational study. The HRV test was performed during non-HD periods and IDH was monitored during 12 HD sessions. IDH was diagnosed according to the nadir 90 criterion, defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of ≤90 mmHg during HD. After monitoring, the HRV test was repeated. An HRV-IDH index was developed using multivariate logistic regression analysis employing HRV test parameters. The predictive power of the HRV-IDH index was analysed using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC). Reproducibility was evaluated using correlation analysis of two HRV tests on the same patient. Results There were 37 and 33 patients in the IDH and non-IDH groups, respectively. The HRV-IDH index predicted IDH occurrence with AUROCs of 0.776 and 0.803 for patients who had experienced at least one or repeated IDH episodes, respectively. Spearman's correlation coefficient for HRV-IDH indices was 0.859 for the first and second HRV tests. Conclusions The HRV test holds promise for predicting IDH, particularly for patients with recurring IDH diagnosed based on the nadir 90 criterion.

Comparison of whole body versus thoracic bioimpedance in relation to ultrafiltration volume and systolic blood pressure during hemodialysis. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2023; 135:1330-1338. [PMID: 37767559 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00600.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In contrast to whole body bioimpedance, which estimates fluid status at a single point in time, thoracic bioimpedance applied by a wearable device could enable continuous measurements. However, clinical experience with thoracic bioimpedance in patients on dialysis is limited. To test the reproducibility of whole body and thoracic bioimpedance measurements and to compare their relationship with hemodynamic changes during hemodialysis, these parameters were measured pre- and end-dialysis in 54 patients during two sessions. The resistance from both bioimpedance techniques was moderately reproducible between two dialysis sessions (intraclass correlations of pre- to end-dialysis whole body and thoracic resistance between session 1 and 2 were 0.711 [0.58-0.8] and 0.723 [0.6-0.81], respectively). There was a very high to high correlation between changes in ultrafiltration volume and changes in whole body thoracic resistance. Changes in systolic blood pressure negatively correlated to both bioimpedance techniques. Although the relationship between changes in ultrafiltration volume and changes in resistance was stronger for whole body bioimpedance, the relationship with changes in blood pressure was at least comparable for thoracic measurements. These results suggest that thoracic bioimpedance, measured by a wearable device, may serve as an interesting alternative to whole body measurements for continuous hemodynamic monitoring during hemodialysis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We examined the role of whole body and thoracic bioimpedance in hemodynamic changes during hemodialysis. Whole body and thoracic bioimpedance signals were strongly related to ultrafiltration volume and moderately, negatively, to changes in blood pressure. This work supports the further development of a wearable device measuring thoracic bioimpedance longitudinally in patients on hemodialysis. As such, it may serve as an innovative tool for continuous hemodynamic monitoring during hemodialysis in hospital or in a home-based setting.

The importance of muscle mass in predicting intradialytic hypotension in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Kidney Res Clin Pract 2022; 41:611-622.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing hemodialysis are susceptible to sarcopenia. As intracellular reservoirs of water, skeletal muscles are important contributors to intradialytic hypotension. This study was designed to determine the role of skeletal muscle mass in intradialytic hypotension. Methods In a cross-sectional study, the body composition of 177 patients was measured immediately after hemodialysis using bioelectrical impedance analysis. The parameters measured were skeletal muscle mass, intracellular and extracellular water contents, total body water, and cell-membrane functionality (in phase angle at 50 kHz). Data from laboratory tests, chest radiography, measurements of handgrip strength and mid-arm circumference, and questionnaires were collected. The main outcome was intradialytic hypotension, defined as more than two episodes of hypotension (systolic blood pressure of <90 mmHg) with intervention over the 3 months following enrollment. Logistic regression models including each parameter related to sarcopenia were compared with a clinical model. Results Patients with a low ratio of skeletal muscle mass to dry body weight (SMM/WT) had a higher rate of intradialytic hypotension (41%). Most low-SMM/WT patients were female, obese, diabetic, and had a lower handgrip strength compared with the other patients. In the high-SMM/WT group, the risk of intradialytic hypotension was lower, with an odds ratio of 0.08 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02-0.28) and adjusted odds ratio of 0.06 (95% CI, 0.01-0.29). Conclusion Measurement and maintenance of skeletal muscle can help prevent intradialytic hypotension in frail patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
This study was designed to identify the fluid spaces that are most changed during ultrafiltration (UF) according to intradialytic blood pressure (BP) difference. BP data were collected five times (before hemodialysis [HD] and 1–4 h of HD). Intradialytic BP difference was calculated as the highest minus lowest of these BP measurements. Intradialytic systolic BP (SBP) difference over 20 mm Hg and diastolic BP (DBP) difference over 10 mm Hg were defined as wide intradialytic SBP difference (SYS-W) and DBP difference (DIA-W), respectively. We measured the various fluid spaces before HD and 1–4 h of HD, and 30 min after HD using a portable, whole-body bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). In this study, 85 prevalent patients aged over 18 years with a fixed dry weight (65.38 ± 12.45 years, 54.18% men, 52.50% patients with diabetes), undergoing HD had participated. 1) Mean relative reduction of extracellular water (ECW) was significantly higher in SYS-W than in narrow intradialytic SBP difference (SYS-N) patients from 1 h to 30 min after HD. 2) Mean relative reduction of intracellular water (ICW) was significantly lower in DIA-W than in narrow intradialytic DBP difference (DIA-N) patients from 1 h to 30 min after HD. 3) ECW of patients with SYS-W was significantly lower than that of patients with SYS-N. Patients with SYS-W have the characteristics of fluid shifts in which reduction of ECW was steeper than patients with SYS-N whereas fluid shifts of ICW were lower in patients with DIA-W than patients with DIA-N.

Abstract
Maintaining adequate body water balance is one aim of hemodialysis that is obtained by changing the blood volume. However, it is known that volume withdrawal is followed by water redistribution between extra- and intra-cellular spaces. In this context, the skeletal muscle tissue represents almost 50% of the total body mass, and like other soft tissues, consists of about 70%-80% water. Body weight is the main parameter used to monitor the body water change after a hemodialysis session, but it does not allow inferring about the water redistribution between extra and intracellular spaces. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the immediate impact of hemodialysis on body weight and the thickness of the rectus femoris muscle. Fifteen male patients with end-stage renal disease took part in the study. Muscle thickness, measured with ultrasound imaging, and body weight and were measured before (Pre) and after (Post) (within 5 to 10 minutes after) an hemodialysis session. Paired t-test was used to compare Pre and Post measures, and Bayesian analysis was applied to check the probability to replicate the same results (ie, the magnitude of the evidence). Our results indicated that body weight, but not rectus femoris muscle thickness, is significantly reduced immediately after hemodialysis. The rectus femoris muscle thickness seems not to be a reliable parameter to infer water redistribution after hemodialysis session.

Assessment of Body Composition in Athletes: A Narrative Review of Available Methods with Special Reference to Quantitative and Qualitative Bioimpedance Analysis. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13051620.

Abstract
Body composition is acknowledged as a determinant of athletic health and performance. Its assessment is crucial in evaluating the efficiency of a diet or aspects related to the nutritional status of the athlete. Despite the methods traditionally used to assess body composition, bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) and bioelectric impedance vector analysis (BIVA) have recently gained attention in sports, as well as in a research context. Only until recently have specific regression equations and reference tolerance ellipses for athletes become available, while specific recommendations for measurement procedures still remain scarce. Therefore, the present narrative review summarizes the current literature regarding body composition analysis, with a special focus on BIA and BIVA. The use of specific technologies and sampling frequencies is described, and recommendations for the assessment of body composition in athletes are provided. Additionally, the estimation of body composition parameters (i.e., quantitative analysis) and the interpretation of the raw bioelectrical data (i.e., qualitative analysis) are examined, highlighting the innovations now available in athletes. Lastly, it should be noted that, up until 2020, the use of BIA and BIVA in athletes failed to provide accurate results due to unspecific equations and references; however, new perspectives are now unfolding for researchers and practitioners. In light of this, BIA and especially BIVA can be utilized to monitor the nutritional status and the seasonal changes in body composition in athletes, as well as provide accurate within- and between-athlete comparisons.

Abstract
A hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Levenberg-Marquardt (GA-LM) method is proposed for cell suspension measurement with electrical impedance spectroscopy. This algorithm combines the GA with global search ability and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm with local search ability, which has the advantages of high accuracy and high robustness. First, GA-LM is compared with GA and LM algorithm separately by ideal simulation. Second, Gaussian noise is added to the ideal simulation data. The anti-noise ability of the GA-LM is discussed. Finally, experiments are conducted to verify the practicability of the proposed GA-LM method. In the experiment, GA-LM is used to fit the impedance spectrum of yeast suspensions with different volume fractions and active states. The results show that the GA-LM algorithm can converge to the real value that is set in the simulation under ideal numerical simulation conditions. In the simulation within 2% noise level, the mean relative error of the parameter solution is less than 4%, and the root mean square error of the fitting is less than 0.4. This method also performs well in fitting of the experimental data. In addition, the electric double layer resistance and cell membrane capacitance are selected as the main indicators for the identification of yeast suspension concentration and activity, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload (FO) in critically ill patients is associated with increased adverse events. This study aims to compare different bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters that demonstrate FO and their association with 30-day mortality in critical patients admitted to the emergency department (ED). METHODS Five components of the BIA were obtained by multifrequency device-total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), intracellular water (ICW), resistance (R), and reactance (Xc)-to calculate parameters (impedance vectors, impedance ratio, and the ratios of ECW to TBW, ECW to ICW, ECW to body surface area, TBW to height2 , ICW to height2 , Xc to height, and R to height) that have been used for the detection of FO. A concordance analysis (κ) was performed comparing every parameter with each other. Furthermore, different regression models (Cox regression) were created associating the FO for each parameter with 30-day mortality, adjusted for age, body mass index, sex, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, and serum albumin level. RESULTS A total of 142 patients were included in the study. Only FO by impedance vector analysis (relative risk [RR] = 6.4; 95% CI, 1.5-27.9; P = .01), impedance ratio (RR = 2.7; 95% CI, 1.1-7.1; P = .04), and R (RR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.2-5.5; P = .02) increased the probability of 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS Different parameters that determine FO by BIA were associated with the mortality of patients admitted to the ED, but the impedance vector analysis was superior to any other parameter of the BIA.

Daugirdas JT. Changes in Total Protein Concentration Due to Fluid Removal During and Shortly after Hemodialysis. Am J Nephrol 2018; 48:118-126.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in plasma volume during hemodialysis are complex and have been shown to depend on the rate of fluid removal and the degree of fluid overload. We examined changes in total protein concentration during and shortly after a dialysis treatment in archived data from the HEMO study. METHODS During follow-up months 4 and 36 of the HEMO study, additional blood samples were obtained during a typical dialysis session at 30 and 60 min after dialysis. In 315 studies from 282 patients where complete data were available, we calculated the concentration change in total protein and compared it to the modeled change in both total body water and extracellular fluid space as derived from 2-pool urea kinetic modeling. RESULTS The mean postdialysis modeled urea volume (V) was 31.1 ± 6.18 L. Mean fluid removal was 2.76 ± 1.27 kg, over a session length of 207 ± 28 min. The ratio of predialysis V to postdialysis V averaged 1.090 ± 0.040. The mean TP ratios (post/pre) at 0, 30, and 60 min postdialysis averaged 1.121 ± 0.070 (SD), 1.091 ± 0.090, and 1.091 ± 0.086. The dialysate to serum sodium gradient, studied in a different group of treatments where this information was available, had no impact on these findings, nor did the length of the interdialytic interval. 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.

Abstract
Bioimpedance measurements with the Body Composition Monitor (BCM) have been shown to improve fluid management in haemodialysis. However, there is a lack of a sufficiently robust evidence-base for use of the BCM outside of standard protocols. This study aims to characterise BCM measurement variation to allow users to make measurements and interpret the results with confidence in a range of clinical scenarios. BCM measurements were made in 48 healthy controls and in 48 stable haemodialysis patients before and immediately after dialysis. The effect of utilising alternative measurement paths was assessed using mixed effects models and the effect of measuring post-dialysis was assessed by comparing changes in BCM-measured overhydration (OH) with weight changes over dialysis. The data from healthy controls suggest that there is no difference in BCM-measured OH between all the whole-body paths other than the foot-to-foot measurement. Dialysis patients showed similar results other than having higher BCM-measured OH when measured across the site of a vascular access. There was good agreement between BCM-measured OH and change in weight, suggesting post-dialysis measurements can be utilised. These results suggest BCM protocols can be flexible regarding measurement paths and timing of measurement to ensure as many patients as possible can benefit from the technology.

Abstract
Background Maintaining optimal fluid balance is essential in haemodialysis (HD) patients but clinical evaluation remains problematic. Other technologies such as bioimpedance are emerging as valuable adjuncts. This study was undertaken to explore the potential utility of the natriuretic peptides – atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the assessment of fluid status and cardiovascular risk in this setting. Methods This was a cross-sectional study carried out in an unselected cohort of 170 prevalent HD patients. Volume status was assessed by clinical parameters – the presence or absence of peripheral oedema, raised jugular venous pressure and basal lung crepitations; by extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) status determined by whole body bioimpedance; and by serum levels of BNP and ANP (pre- and post –dialysis). The relationships of ANP and BNP levels to clinical and bioimpedance parameters of volume status was determined. Patients were followed up for 5 years to assess the relationship of natriuretic peptide levels to mortality. Results Bioimpedance estimates of ECFV expansion (>105 % of ideal ECFV) was present in 52 % of patients pre-dialysis. A significant proportion (21 %) of pre-dialysis patients had a depleted ECFV (<95 % of ideal ECFV) pre-dialysis. The situation was reversed post-dialysis. A raised JVP >3 cm was the most reliable clinical sign of ECFV expansion inferred from bioimpedance measurements and natriuretic peptide levels. The vast majority of patients with this sign also had lung crepitations or peripheral oedema or both. BNP was a stronger predictor of ECFV expansion than either pre- or post-dialysis ANP. BNP was also a stronger predictor of five-year survival. Conclusion Serum levels of BNP have a strong relationship to both volume status and survival in HD patients. We found no clear role for measurement of ANP, though changes in blood levels may be a sensitive indicator of acute changes in volume status. Whether monitoring levels of these peptides has a role in the management of volume status and cardiovascular risk requires further study.

Abstract
Several new methods of renal replacement therapy (RRT) are now available for treating patients in the ICU setting. However, utilization of RRT in the ICU is subject to considerable variation and the need for RRT is associated with worse outcomes. Several factors influence the application of dialysis and reflect the interplay of patient and process of care elements that are dynamic in nature. Despite multiple studies evaluating RRT and its application, there are gaps in our knowledge that must be overcome to improve outcomes. This article discusses some of the important issues that require attention in delivering RRT in critically ill patients and provides a framework for the optimal use of RRT in the ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) is often used to measure body fluid spaces and thereby body composition. However, in acute animal studies, we found that impedance was driven by the saline content of intravenous (IV) fluids and not by the volume. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of 3 different fluids acutely administered on the change in impedance, specifically resistance (R). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine healthy adults participated in 3 treatment (0.9% saline, 5% dextrose, and a mixture of 0.3% saline + 3.3% dextrose) experiments on nonconsecutive days. They all received 1 L of one of the treatments intravenously over a 1-hour period. Repeated BIA measurements were performed prior to IV infusion and then every 5 minutes for the 1-hour infusion period, plus 3 more measurements up to 15 minutes after the completion of the infusion. RESULTS The change in R in the 0.9% saline infusion experiment was significantly lower than that of the glucose and mixture treatment ( P < .001). CONCLUSION Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy and BIA measure salt rather than the volume changes over the infusion period. Hence, in patients receiving IV fluids, BIA of any kind (single frequency or multifrequency) cannot be used to measure body fluid spaces or body composition.

Abstract
Fluid shifts are common in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) during the intradialytic periods, as several liters of fluid are removed during ultrafiltration (UF). Some patients have experienced frequent intradialytic hypotension (IDH). However, the characteristics of fluid shifts and which fluid space is affected remain controversial. Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate the fluid spaces most affected by UF and to determine whether hydration status influences the fluid shifts during HD. This was a prospective cohort study of 40 patients undergoing HD. We measured the patient's fluid spaces using a whole-body bioimpedance apparatus to evaluate the changes in the fluid spaces before HD and 1-4 hours of HD and 30 minutes after HD. UF achieved during HD by the 40 patients (age, 60.0 ± 5.2 years; 50% men; 50% of patients with diabetes; body weight, 61.3 ± 10.5 kg) was 2.18 ± 0.78 L (measured fluid overload, 2.15 ± 1.24 L). 1) Mean relative reduction of total body water and extracellular water was reduced from the start to the end of HD. 2) However, mean relative reduction of intracellular water was not reduced from the start to the end of HD. 3) No significant differences in fluid shifts were observed according to hydration status. The source of net UF during HD is mostly the extracellular space regardless of hydration status. Thus, IDH may be related to differences in the interstitial fluid shift to the vascular space.

Abstract
Background Volume overload is the main factor responsible for the pathogenesis of hypertension in dialysis patients. Few studies have evaluated the interpretation of the parameters obtained by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) to manage these patients. The aim of this study was to assess the best cutoff level of volume overload obtained by BIA able to predict the absence of hypertension control in hemodialysis patients. Methods Volume overload was calculated as the difference between total body water (TBW) measured by bioimpedance and TBW estimated by the Watson formula in chronic stable hemodialysis patients. Inadequate control of blood pressure (BP) was defined as the mean of measurements obtained before five hemodialysis sessions ≥140 × 90 mm Hg. The best cutoff level of volume overload assessed by BIA able to predict the absence of BP control in patients on chronic hemodialysis was determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve using the Youden method. Results We included 205 patients, 53% male, aged 56 ± 14.5 years. The largest area under the ROC curve was found for predialysis volume overload (0.660, 95% CI 0.556-0.765, p = 0.004). The ROC curve of postdialysis volume overload also reaches statistical significance. The best cutoff point was found for predialysis volume overload ≥1.4 liters with a sensitivity of 69% and a specificity of 67%. Conclusion The association of TBW and inadequate BP control highlights the importance of volume management in hemodialysis patients. Predialysis volume overload of 1.4 liters was the parameter that best discriminated the presence of inadequate BP control.

Subcutaneous interstitial pressure and volume characteristics in renal impairment associated with edema. Kidney Int 2013; 84:980-8.

Abstract
The kidneys and the interstitial compartment play a vital role in body fluid regulation. The latter may be significantly altered in renal dysfunction, but experimental studies are lacking. To help define this we measured the subcutaneous interstitial pressure, bioimpedance volumes, and edema characteristics in 10 healthy subjects and 21 patients with obvious edema and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Interstitial edema was quantified by the time taken for a medial malleolar thumb pit to refill and termed the edema refill time. Interstitial pressure was significantly raised in CKD compared to healthy subjects. Total body water (TBW), extracellular fluid volume (ECFV), interstitial fluid volume, the ratio of the ECFV to the TBW, and segmental extracellular fluid volume were raised in CKD. The ratio of the ECFV to the TBW and the interstitial fluid volume were the best predictors of interstitial pressure. Significantly higher interstitial pressures were noted in edema of 2 weeks or less duration. A significant nonlinear relationship defined interstitial pressure and interstitial fluid volume. Edema refill time was significantly inversely related to interstitial pressure, interstitial compartment volumes, and edema vintage. Elevated interstitial pressure in CKD with obvious edema is a combined function of accumulated interstitial compartment fluid volumes, edema vintage, and tissue mechanical properties. The edema refill time may represent an important parameter in the clinical assessment of edema, providing additional information about interstitial pathophysiology in patients with CKD and fluid retention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintenance of central blood volume (CBV) is essential for hemodynamic stability during hemodialysis (HD), though preservation of CBV is poorly understood. Pneumatic compression devices (PCDs) during HD may help maintain CBV. METHODS We performed a randomized, crossover trial to determine the effect of PCDs on CBV during HD. Patients underwent two consecutive mid-week HD sessions, randomized to begin the first session either with or without PCDs [stratified by intradialytic hypotension (IDH)-prone status]. The primary outcome was change in CBV during HD. The secondary outcomes were change in other hemodynamic and volume status parameters. RESULTS Fifty-one patients (median age 65 years, 75% male, 22% IDH-prone) were randomized; forty-six completed the study. During HD, the median change in CBV for PCD and control sessions was -0.08 versus -0.05 L (P = 0.62). There was no difference in the change in cardiac output (CO) (-0.63 versus -0.49 L/min, P = 0.78) or systemic vascular resistance (SVR) (+1.30 versus +1.55 mmHg/L/min, P = 0.67) for PCDs versus control. Based on the bioimpedance measurements, patients were not volume overloaded pre-dialysis. There was a greater reduction in total body water (TBW) (-2.6 versus -2.3 L, P = 0.05) and intracellular fluid (ICF) volume (-1.3 versus -1.1 L, P = 0.03), and no difference in change in the extracellular fluid (ECF) volume (1.3 versus 1.2 L, P = 0.09) with PCDs versus control. Similar results were observed in IDH-prone patients. CONCLUSIONS Compared with standard of care, PCDs have no effect on intradialytic hemodynamic parameters, including CBV, although they may allow greater capacity for fluid removal. Further studies are required to better understand physiological and hemodynamic changes in patients during HD.

Abstract
Hydration status has a major impact on hemodialysis (HD) patients. Overhydration is related to hypertension, pulmonary and peripheral edema, and other cardiovascular events; while dehydration is related to hypotension, and other severe ischemic symptoms. All result in increased morbidity and mortality. Bioimpedance has been newly developed to measure the amount of water in the body. Several predictive equations were used, taken from demographic and anthropometric data. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the body composition of HD patients and to propose a hydration index. We performed bioimpedance measures with the Tanita TBF-300 scale, which calculates Total Body Water (TBW). The tool was reliable, with good reproducibility. However, we found significant differences between weight variations (dW) and TBW variations (dTBW) during HD sessions. This paper proposes a hydration index (I=dW-dTBW), with the hypothesis that dry weight is reached when I=0, while I>0 or I<0 indicate overhydrated or dehydrated, respectively. In this study, the changes in the index corresponded to the variations in weight and hydration state. We conclude that impedancemetry is a currently available technique that can be used to estimate TBW in HD patients. Although the index has to be improved by complementary studies, it may be a good guide to assess the dry weight achieved.

Abstract
Overhydration (OH) is both a major etiology of hypertension in hemodialysis patients and a serious risk factor for mortality. We investigated the association of multiple variables and OH. This is a cross-sectional study of prevalent hemodialysis patients examining the predialysis hydrational status with a portable bioimpedance apparatus to measure the degree of hydration. We completed our study in 79 patients. Patients were overhydrated by 2.6 ± 2.4 L. The mean medication count was 2.4 ± 1.5, and 50.7% had diuretics. We found a significant correlation between OH and systolic blood pressure (r = 0.39; p = 0.0006), each liter of OH generating 3.6 mm Hg. We also found a positive correlation between the use of diuretics and OH (p = 0.003, two-tailed Student's t test) but no correlation between OH and body weight (r < 0.0001; p = 0.99), body mass index (r = -0.17), age (r = 0.089), and vintage (r = 0.05). For every 10% increase in body fat, OH decreased by 1.2 L; residual urine output gave no protection from OH (r = 0.077) and did not correlate with blood pressure (r = 0.01). Overhydration is strongly associated with the use of antihypertensive medications and the use of diuretics in this dialysis population. Obesity seems to afford some protection from OH.

Abstract
The relation between the right-side (RS) electrical impedance phase angle (PA) and segmental PA in five configurations at 50 kHz was analyzed in 23 peritoneal dialysis male patients before complete drainage of the abdominal cavity. The impedance vector (Z/H) components were standardized by the height H of the subjects (R/H and Xc/H). BIVA software was used to analyze the individual RS vector. The Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between RS and segmental configurations. Student's t test and Hotelling's T2 test were used to analyze the separation of groups obtained by BIVA. The highest significant Pearson correlation was between RS and right leg total (RLEGT) in a longitudinal direction (r=0.925, P<0.001). We obtained a significant difference (P<0.05) in R/H, Xc/H (for RS and RLEGT) using Hotelling's T2 test, and in PA using Student's t test. The transverse measurement in the leg (RTRLEG) showed the lowest correlation (r=0.261). In conclusion, we can obtain similar information through the phase angle, whether RS is measured or if we measure on RLEGT. The phase angle of the transverse measurements provides different information from the phase angle of the longitudinal measurements.

Abstract
Fluid shifts during hemodialysis involve changes in both extracellular and intracellular volumes. This study aimed to determine the effect of intradialytic sodium gradients (GNa), that is, the difference between dialysate and serum sodium concentration, on dynamics of extracellular and intracellular volumes in a group of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Extracellular volume change (deltaECV) between predialysis and postdialysis periods was determined by whole-body bioimpedance spectroscopy; intracellular volume change (deltaICV) was indirectly derived as the difference between deltaECV and the change in body weight, corrected for intradialytically given fluids. A total of 200 bioimpedance measurements were performed in 32 dialysis patients. Extracellular and intracellular volume changes were -2.6 +/- 0.9 L (range: -4.7 to -0.5 L) and -0.2 +/- 0.7 L (range: -2.5 to +1.5 L), respectively. There was a significant correlation between deltaICV and GNa; deltaICV = -0.12 * GNa + 0.26 (p < 0.001). In contrast, GNa was not correlated with deltaECV. We conclude that the sodium gradient between dialysate and plasma has a significant effect on the ICV during dialysis. Hemodialysis with GNa = 0 mmol/L should be sought to prevent ICV shrinking or swelling and to prevent excessive thirst, consequently high interdialytic weight gains, and ultrafiltration rates.

Abstract
The whole body bioimpedance technique is a highly promising non-invasive, reproducible, fast and inexpensive bed-side method for monitoring hydration status. Using segmental bioimpedance measurements, it is possible to obtain information about the fluid change in each body segment (Song, Lee, Kim and Kim 1999 Perit. Dial. Int. 19 386-90). In this pilot study we have measured 25 male patients (30-65 yr, BMI 20-32 kg m(-2)) undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Tetrapolar impedance measurements were obtained using the right-side technique (whole body), and a segmental impedance method focused in the thorax region. Blood pressure (BP) measurements were taken manually with a sphygmomanometer. Patients were classified as either stable (group 0) or unstable (group 1) using clinical parameters of overall cardiovascular risk. The Mahalanobis distance (dM2) was calculated for the mean blood pressure (BP(mean)), and the impedance parameter R normalized by body height H for the right-side (R(RS)/H) and the thorax segment (R(TH)/H). Differences between groups were significant (p < 0.0001) for R(TH)/H and for BP(mean), and less significant (p = 0.016) for R(RS)/H. Group 1 patients showed a small dM2 as compared with a reference patient (a critical patient with acute lung edema) with high BP(mean) and low values of R(TH)/H and R(RS)/H. Moreover, Group 0 patients showed a larger dM2 with respect to the reference patient, with lower BP(mean) and higher values of R(TH)/H and R(RS)/H. All patients classified as unstable by clinical assessment were correctly classified using R(TH)/H in conjunction with BP(mean) using dM2. Segmental-monofrequency non-invasive bioimpedance of the thoracic region could provide a simple, objective non-invasive method of support for facilitating the clinical assessment of CAPD patients.

The purpose of this study was to develop a method for measuring intracellular (ICW) and extracellular water (ECW) in the human forearm using multiple frequency bioimpedance analysis (MFBIA). The approach was (i) to measure whole-body and forearm fat-free mass using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); (ii) to use these measurements to estimate the fat-free mass (FFM) resistivity in both the forearm and in the whole body; and (iii) to use the ratio of these FFM resistivities to estimate the resistivity in the ICW and ECW compartments of the forearm. To first demonstrate the accuracy of the DXA software in differentiating lean body mass from fat and bone within a volume of tissue, ex-vivo bovine muscle tissue samples (n = 3) were used to approximate the physical properties of the human forearm. It was found that although the human whole-body software overestimates FFM, it was slightly underestimated by the small animal software. Using this technique, DXA measures of FFM were obtained from human volunteers (n = 11; age = 20 ± 5 years; height = 170 ± 12 cm; mass = 64 ± 16 kg). These measures were used in conjunction with MFBIA measures of impedance of the whole body and of the forearm to determine the resistivities of the ICW and ECW compartments of the forearm, namely 375.8 ± 25.2 Ωcm and 55.6 ± 3.7 Ωcm, respectively. These were used in MFBIA equations to calculate the ICW, ECW, and total arm water (TAW) volumes of the human forearm. The calculated TAW and the ECW (± SD) volume fraction (667.29 ± 200.15 mL and 0.169 ± 0.039 mL, respectively) were in agreement with literature values. MFBIA results were compared with those obtained using nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry (NMRR). MFBIA was performed on 15 subjects before and after an intense maximal handgrip exercise to estimate changes in water volume in muscle. Following exercise, the total and intracellular water of the forearm increased on average by 8% ± 3% and 10% ± 4% (mean ± SD), respectively. In 5 healthy volunteers, MFBIA and NMRR were performed before and after a similar exercise of the forearm muscle. The changes with exercise of intracellular and total arm water volumes as measured by MFBIA were estimated. The percent increases in total water were found to be 9.4% ± 4.2% and 9.4% ± 2.6% and in intracellular water were found to be 10.6% ± 4.6% and 12.0% ± 2.8% (mean ± SD) for NMRR and MFBIA, respectively. The results show that the exercise-induced changes in ICW and TAW determined with the MFBIA model are consistent with those observed with NMRR and radiotracer literature.

Abstract
Fluid shifts are commonplace in chronic hemodialysis patients during the intra- and interdialytic periods. In this study, we evaluated fluid shifts of body compartments using both bioimpedance spectroscopy and blood volume monitoring from the start to the end of hemodialysis. 24 stable hemodialysis patients were included on the study. Relative change of blood volume was progressively reduced from the start to the end of hemodialysis (1 hr, -7.22+/-3.23%; 2 hr, -9.78+/-4.69%; 3 hr, -12.88+/-5.65%; 4 hr, -15.41+/-6.54%, respectively). Mean % reduction of intracellular fluid was not significantly different to that of extracellular fluid at the end of hemodialysis (delta ICF, -6.58+/-5.34% vs. delta ECF, -7.07+/-5.12%). Mean % fluid reduction of arms, legs and trunk was -11.98+/-6.76%, -6.43+/-4.37% and -7.47+/-4.56%, respectively at the end of hemodialysis. There were 3 characteristic patterns in blood-volume change. Similar amounts of fluid were removed from the extracellular and intracellular compartments during hemodialysis, with the arms showing the greatest loss in terms of body segments. The pattern of blood volume change measured by blood volume monitoring may be useful for more accurate determination of dry-weight and for correcting volume status in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Discrepancies in body fluid estimates between segmental bioimpedance spectroscopy (SBIS) and gold-standard methods may be due to the use of a uniform value of tissue resistivity to compute extracellular fluid volume (ECV) and intracellular fluid volume (ICV). Discrepancies may also arise from the exclusion of fluid volumes of hands, feet, neck, and head from measurements due to electrode positions. The aim of this study was to define the specific resistivity of various body segments and to use those values for computation of ECV and ICV along with a correction for unmeasured fluid volumes. Twenty-nine maintenance hemodialysis patients (16 men) underwent body composition analysis including whole body MRI, whole body potassium (40K) content, deuterium, and sodium bromide dilution, and segmental and wrist-to-ankle bioimpedance spectroscopy, all performed on the same day before a hemodialysis. Segment-specific resistivity was determined from segmental fat-free mass (FFM; by MRI), hydration status of FFM (by deuterium and sodium bromide), tissue resistance (by SBIS), and segment length. Segmental FFM was higher and extracellular hydration of FFM was lower in men compared with women. Segment-specific resistivity values for arm, trunk, and leg all differed from the uniform resistivity used in traditional SBIS algorithms. Estimates for whole body ECV, ICV, and total body water from SBIS using segmental instead of uniform resistivity values and after adjustment for unmeasured fluid volumes of the body did not differ significantly from gold-standard measures. The uniform tissue resistivity values used in traditional SBIS algorithms result in underestimation of ECV, ICV, and total body water. Use of segmental resistivity values combined with adjustment for body volumes that are neglected by traditional SBIS technique significantly improves estimations of body fluid volume in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In suspended cells, low-frequency current only passes through extracellular fluids, while current at higher frequencies passes through extra- and intracellular fluids. Cells in soft tissues are in contact with each other, which causes tissue anisotropy, meaning that impedance changes along different cell directions, with part of low-frequency current also passing through cells. Hence, equivalent information on body impedance change is expected at all frequencies, which we proved in a dynamic condition of fluid removal with hemodialysis. METHODS We performed whole-body impedance spectroscopy (496 frequencies from 4 to 1024 kHz, SEAC SFB3 analyzer; Brisbane, Australia) before and during fluid removal (0, 60, 120, 180 min, 2.5 kg) in 67 hemodialysis patients. With increasing current frequency, resistance (R) decreases and reactance (Xc) moves along the Cole's semicircle on the R-Xc plane. RESULTS The Cole's semicircles progressively enlarged and moved to the right on the R-Xc plane following fluid removal (increase in both R and Xc values at any given frequency). Xc values at 5 kHz (expected values close to 0 Ohm) were 70% of the maximun Xc, indicating an intracellular current flows at low frequencies. The correlation coefficient between R at 50 kHz (standard frequency) and R at other frequencies ranged from 0.96 to 0.99, and the correlation coefficient between Xc at 50 kHz and Xc at other frequencies at any time point ranged from 0.65 to 0.99. CONCLUSION From high Xc values at low frequency, tissue anisotropy is inferred. Intra- and extracellular current flow causes equivalence of information based on functions of R and Xc measurements made at 50 kHz versus other frequencies.

Abstract
Measurements were performed before and after hemodialysis (HD) in the supine and upright positions (orthostatic change test) and during HD session every 30 minutes in recumbent position on 11 HD patients. Two hydration states were compared: hyperhydration and normal hydration. Each patient served as his own control. Blood pressure and total body bioimpedance were obtained simultaneously. Thoracic impedance values (Zo) obtained during HD were significantly greater in the normal hydration state. There was strong correlation between Zo gain and total ultrafiltration; however, Zo gain divided through total ultrafiltration (calculated for every 100 ml) was also higher in this state. The ratio Zo/R (where R is resistance of total body bioimpedance) was stable during HD but was significantly higher in the normal hydration state. Zo gain during the orthostatic change test was significantly higher after HD than before HD in both hydration states. The anticipated difference in Zo gains between both hydration states was not significant. After echocardiographic analysis of patients, we determined that cardiac dysfunction or valvular defects in four patients were likely responsible for opposite reaction on orthostatic change test. During our measurements, we observed the influence of Zo changes on episodes such as intradialytic hypotension or acute atrial fibrillation. Thoracic impedance is an intriguing method for controlling pathophysiology of fluid distribution, but it requires the accurate definition of a patient's hemodynamics and strong conditions during measurement. During our measurements, we observed the influence of such episodes as intradialytic hypotension or acute atrial fibrillation on Zo changes.

Abstract
Determining dry weight and assessing extracellular fluid volume in hemodialysis (HD) patients is one of the greatest challenges to practicing nephrologists. The clinical examination has limited accuracy, so different strategies have been investigated to aid in this evaluation. Biochemical markers of volume overload (ANP, BNP, cGMP) are fraught with excessive variability and poor correlation with volume status. Inferior vena cava ultrasound is effective, but cumbersome and costly. Bioimpedance measurements of intra- and extracellular water have significant shortcomings when used as isolated measurements, but can be useful in following trends over time and have been shown to improve intradialytic symptoms and blood pressure control. Continuous blood volume monitoring is helpful in preventing intradialytic hypotension and may help identify patients who are volume overloaded and need increased ultrafiltration. In this review we discuss these different techniques and other developments in the evaluation of dry weight and volume status, which may enhance our ability to improve patient stability and well-being during HD sessions.
