چکیده
objectives the main objective of this study was to design and construct an optical device to determine the rbv in patients undergoing hemodialysis, during the process. materials and methods after initial studies in order to select a proper sensor, using the orcad software, an analog circuit was designed. the implementation and modification of the circuit was done by the clinical tests, using expired blood. afterwards, for calculation the rbv, controlling the display, data storage and sending it to the computer, an atmega16 microcontroller was used. for programing the microcontroller, codevision software and then altium designer software were used for the circuit compression, in order to design the printed circuit board. finally, all parts of the analog and digital circuit, ac to dc converter and the lcd were embedded in a box. background occurrence of hypotension during hemodialysis in nearly 20-30% of patients, shows is the necessity of continuous monitoring the patients' blood pressure during hemodialysis. since directly and non-invasively continuous blood pressure monitoring, is not easy, finding a parameter related to blood pressure, for indirect monitoring is of great value. related blood volume (rbv) is one of the parameters, related to blood pressure and have a good potential to reflect the patient’s hemodynamic condition. results after finalization of the device and before testing it in a real situation, expired blood was used for final evaluation. the evaluation was done by changing the blood concentration, at the start point by adding water to it. in fact, the device can track the changes in blood concentration and display the rbv. after this evaluation, the device was tested in a clinical situation. the results showed there are no interactions between this device and the other devices used in the dialysis section and it can work properly in order to measure the rbv. conclusions considering the hypotension and its consequences in a patient on hemodialysis, solving this problem seems necessary. one method for preventing this, is to use the blood pressure related parameters and one of these parameters is the rbv. in this study, in order to measure the rbv, a device was designed and evaluated by expired blood and also tested in a clinical situation. results showed that the device could work properly in order to measure the rbv.

متن کاملEffects of relative blood volume-controlled hemodialysis on blood pressure and volume status in hypertensive patients.
In hypertensive hemodialysis (HD) patients, dry weight reduction to normalize blood pressure (BP) often results in increased frequency of HD hypotension. Because HD with blood volume tracking (BVT) has been shown to improve intra-HD hemodynamic stability, we performed a prospective, randomized study to test whether BVT is more effective than standard hemodialysis (SHD) in the management of hype...
متن کاملHemodialysis Volume-Associated Ambulatory Blood Pressure Patterns in Hemodialysis Patients
Although volume excess causes hypertension, whether it also affects circadian patterns of arterial pressures among hemodialysis patients remains unknown. To test the notion of whether volume overload is associated with a unique blood pressure (BP) “signature,” a posthoc analysis was performed among 145 patients participating in the Dry-Weight Reduction in Hypertensive Hemodialysis Patients rand...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dialysis and kidney transplantation on serum levels of several tumor markers such as PSA, AFP, CA125, CA19- 9, CA15-3, CEA and to compare with normal age matched controls. Methods: Between September of 2000 and July of 2001, the following tumor markers: PSA, AFP, CA125, CA19-9, CA15-3 and CEA were measured by ELISA Method in 29 hemodialyzed patients (group A...
متن کاملRelative blood volume changes underestimate total blood volume changes during hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Measurements of relative blood volume changes (DeltaRBV) during hemodialysis (HD) are based on hemoconcentration and assume uniform mixing of erythrocytes and plasma throughout the circulation. However, whole-body hematocrit (Ht) is lower than systemic Ht. During HD, a change in the ratio between whole-body to systemic Ht (F cell ratio) is likely to occur as a result of a net shift o...
