Blood Volume Monitoring: A Clinical Tool to Guide Ultrafiltration in Volume Control and Optimisation of Intradialytic Blood Pressure

The importance of extracellular volume control and avoidance overload has been well documented in relation to the management patients with chronic haemodialysis. Chronic results poorly controlled hypertension, increased cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality. Traditional methods dry weight assessment have relied on clinical guide status. challenge achieving balance between weights preventing intradialytic complications is a formidable one. In order achieve this, reproducible sensitive are desirable aid objective quantification One such method by use blood monitoring, which achieved real-time calculation changes relative via cuvette placed arterial blood-line, can be used ultrafiltration targets during haemodialysis session. This review article examines monitoring as tool dialysis examine current evidence supports its assessing hypotension events.
